’Caps earn their first win at Dallas
VANCOUVER 4 DALLAS 0
FRISCO, Texas — Fredy Montero had two goals and an assist and the Vancouver Whitecaps beat FC Dallas 4-0 on Saturday for their third victory in four matches. It was Vancouver’s first win at Toyota Stadium in nine attempts.
“We’re happy. We got the opportunity to make history with the team,” Montero said.
“First game for Vancouver Whitecaps to win in Dallas and we’re super happy. We did a good job. Our wingers were playing very good, attacked and came back to defend, which was the key to the game.”
Bernie Ibini-Isei and Nicolas Mezquida added goals and David Ousted made three saves for Vancouver (9-8-3). Ousted has five shutouts this season, two in the last three games.
FC Dallas (9-4-7) lost for the first time since a 2-0 loss at Portland on June 10.
Ibini-Isei blasted a left-footer into the net from just outside the box to open the scoring in the 18th minute.
“It’s a great result for us,” said Ibini-Isei.
“Coach told us before the game that we hadn’t won here and that was on our minds. A great result for us, and well done to the boys.”
Montero doubled the advantage early in the second half, converting from the spot after a penalty in the area by Kellyn Acosta.
Montero added a goal in the 67th minute and Mezquida in the 83rd. It was Mezquida’s second goal of the season and his first since March 11.
N.Y. RED BULLS 4 MONTREAL 0
HARRISON, New Jersey — Daniel Royer scored twice, Michael Murillo scored his first MLS goal and the New York Red Bulls beat the Montreal Impact 4-0.
Royer has scored six goals in his last four games.
Bradley Wright-Phillips scored his seventh in nine matches, and Luis Robles made two saves in his seventh clean sheet of the season.
The Red Bulls (11-8-2) have won four in a row and five of its last six. New York is 8-0-0 at Red Bull Arena against Montreal.
“It’s a disappointing game. We did not play well offensively or defensively,” Impact head coach Mauro Biello said. “In the first half, we gave a penalty on a quick throw-in. On the road, you have to be able to take your chances, as you will not get many.”
