Overview

  • White came off the bench after a three-game hamstring layoff to deflect Sebastian Berhalter’s shot for his 15th MLS goal in the 88th minute.
  • Portland led through Kamal Miller’s 39th-minute strike from distance, and goalkeeper James Pantemis denied Berhalter in the 87th before the equalizer.
  • Vancouver sits at 56 points (16-6-8) in second place in the West, one behind San Diego, while Portland remains seventh on 43 points.
  • Yohei Takaoka made key first-half saves but remains tied for the club single-season clean-sheet record at 13 after conceding.
  • The Whitecaps were missing Thomas Müller (adductor) and suspended Edier Ocampo and Andrés Cubas; next up is Seattle away Saturday, with Portland hosting FC Dallas.
