Brian White pulls Whitecaps even in draw with Rapids
CF Montreal blanks Chicago Fire FC
Brian White scored, Maxime Crepeau made three saves for Vancouver and the Whitecaps tied the Colorado Rapids 1-1 on Sunday night.
White chipped a one-touch finish off the crossbar and into the net to pull Vancouver (7-8-9) even in the 41st minute. Deiber Caicedo set up the goal, running onto an errant pass by Colorado's Danny Wilson in the middle third, charging down the middle and playing a through ball to White in the center of the area.
Vancouver has just one loss in its last 12 games.
WATCH | Whitecaps draw against Rapids:
Wilson headed home a corner kick by Jack Price for the Rapids (12-4-8) in the 28th minute. Colorado is unbeaten in its last 10 games, but is winless in three straight.
CF Montreal defeat Chicago Fire FC
A second-half surge propelled CF Montreal to a 2-0 win Sunday over the visiting Chicago Fire FC in Montreal.
Chicago (6-14-5) dictated the tempo early by testing Montreal's back line and pinning them in the defensive half of the pitch.
Montreal goalkeeper James Pantemis made two key saves at the 20-minute mark on a point-blank header by Mauricio Pineda and then a top-corner attempt from Fabian Herbers.
WATCH | CF Montreal hold Chicago Fire FC scoreless in victory:
Chicago continued to dominate and attack an off-balance Montreal side, but the second half was an entirely different affair when the latter began to look like a playoff-contending team.
Djordje Mihailovic slipped the ball to Quioto, who opened the scoring in the 60th minute. Quioto had another solid chance in the 74th, but his shot from close range was handled by Gabriel Slolina.
Just under five minutes later, a searching cross from Mathieu Choiniere found the foot of Teran, who doubled Montreal's lead through an own goal.
There was concern on the home bench in the 84th minute, when Quioto went down in discomfort.
Montreal's faces the Columbus Crew in an away game Sept. 25. Chicago takes on the New England Revolution at Soldier Field on Sept. 26.
