COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (AP) --- Morgan Whittaker scored in the 81st minute, Nico
Hansen made two saves for his ninth clean sheet of the season, and the Colorado
Rapids beat the Vancouver Whitecaps 1-0 on Saturday night to extend their home
unbeaten streak to 10 matches.
Whittaker headed in his third goal of the season after Vancouver goalkeeper
Yohei Takaoka deflected Donavan Phillip's shot off the crossbar and it fell to
the Rapids forward at the back post.
Colorado (12-13-6) snapped a five-game winless streak with its first victory
since Sept. 12. The Rapids entered having played to a tie in their last three
games.
Vancouver (16-8-7) lost for the second time in its last five games. The
Whitecaps still sit atop the Western Conference standings, one point ahead of
Dallas.
Takaoka, who entered with 13 shutouts this season, finished with seven saves.
