VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) --- Ryan Gauld scored his 50th career goal
with Vancouver and Yohei Takaoka recorded his 11th clean sheet of the season to
help the Whitecaps beat the LA Galaxy 3-0 on Wednesday night.
Gauld is the first player in Vancouver's MLS era to record 50 goals and 50
assists with the club.
Takaoka, who made five saves, is one shutout behind LAFC's Hugo Lloris for the
MLS lead.
Vancouver (14-5-4) remains three points ahead of second-place Houston for the
Western Conference lead.
Los Angeles (7-10-8) has posted a 2-3-1 record over its last six MLS matches.
Brian White opened the scoring in the eighth minute when he headed forward
Thomas Mller's flick over the defense and volleyed it home.
Gauld dribbled through traffic, following a poor pass by a Galaxy defender, and
sent in a shot from the penalty spot in the 57th for a 2-0 lead.
With White, Gauld and Mller subbed off, Bruno Caicedo converted a penalty kick
in the 89th that JT Marcinowski got a hand on.
Up next
Los Angeles: Hosts Seattle on Saturday.
Vancouver: Hosts Austin on Sunday.
