"Mathias Laborda was at the end of a Sebastian Berhalter cross to kung-fu kick in the opener right before half-time. Berhalter had been the main threat for the Whitecaps."
"Head coach Jesper Sorenson had instructed his team to test a Thiago Martin-less NYCFC backline's aerial ability, swinging in crosses from anywhere on the wings and earning 12 corners over the game."
"Brian White was finally rewarded for his efforts in the 87th minute, finishing off the first of his seven chances on target. It ensured the Whitecaps took top spot in the Western Conference."
"The midfield looked flat in the early stages of the game, perhaps to take the sting out of a bouncing BC Place early on, with 25,000 people watching."
