Vancouver Whitecaps 5-0 Dallas result, stats and report

Vancouver Whitecaps produced a commanding performance in Salt Lake City, winning 3-0 with goals from Brian White, Thomas Müller, and Yadaly Diaby to pile further misery on a Real Salt Lake side that has now gone ten matches without a win in MLS.

A tight, scrappy Texas derby produced no goals but plenty of talking points, with Dallas dominating territory and Austin's keepers and defenders doing just enough to earn a point on the road.

Austin took all three points at Vancouver despite losing the disciplinary battle comprehensively, as Christian Ramirez's brace was cancelled out and then some by a Whitecaps side that imploded with five yellow cards and a red. Brian White's equaliser and Austin's relentless pressure proved the difference.

Dallas ground out a 2-1 win over Portland Timbers despite being outplayed for large stretches, with Joaquín Valiente's 87th-minute strike proving the difference after Ariel Lassiter pulled one back in stoppage time.

Houston Dynamo have won once in their last five MLS matches and Dallas cannot keep a clean sheet to save their lives. Something has to give in this Texas derby.

Austin beat Vancouver Whitecaps just five weeks ago and now they meet again in MLS. The question is whether Austin have the desire to do it twice.

Dallas come into Thursday's MLS clash on the back of three straight wins, while Seattle Sounders arrive without a single away victory in their last ten attempts. Something has to give.

St. Louis City host Vancouver Whitecaps on Thursday night unbeaten in their last ten MLS matches, but the Whitecaps arrive with a point to prove after losing 3-1 at this same ground last month.
