VANCOUVER — Two goals in four minutes condemned the Vancouver Whitecaps to a rare home loss against St. Louis City SC on Saturday night at BC Place.
City SC striker Tomas Totland scored one and set up another at the tail end of the first half for St. Louis’ first away win against the Whitecaps in Major League Soccer play.
The match started great for the Whitecaps when Emmanuel Sabbi opened the scoring in the third minute with his fifth goal of the season. Sabbi jumped on a misplaced pass by midfielder Daniel Edelman and curled a shot past the fingertips of the diving Roman Burki.
Former Whitecaps striker Simon Becher wouldn’t be denied a goal against his former team, equalizing in the 23rd minute after finding himself facing Vancouver goalkeeper Yohei Takaoka alone in the six-yard box.
