Troubles on the road and in Vancouver continue with tie
VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Defender Kendall Waston scored four minutes into injury time and the Vancouver Whitecaps twice battled back from a goal down for a 2-2 draw with the Dynamo late Friday night.
With the Whitecaps desperately searching for the equalizer, midfielder Felipe sent a long ball toward the goal. Striker Kei Kamara headed the ball toward the net. The 6-5 Waston leaped into the air and headed it into the goal.
Jose Aja had tied the game at 1 in the 44th minute with his first MLS goal. Aja came close to scoring a second goal late in the game when a header hit the side of the goal.
Mauro Manotas scored in the 90th minute to give the Dynamo a 2-1 lead.
The Dynamo had survived several Vancouver scoring chances. With time ticking off the clock, Arturo Alvarez took a shot that was blocked, but Manotas controlled the rebound and fired it into the Whitecaps’ goal.
Forward Tomas Martinez also scored for the Dynamo (3-3-1), who haven’t won on the road this season (0-1-3) and are winless in their last 10 regular-season away games (0-3-7). The Dynamo, who opened the scoring in the 35th minute, have never won in Vancouver (0-6-2).
Vancouver (4-5-2) is 1-3-1 in the past four games and has been outscored 13-5.
Goalkeeper Brian Rowe made his first start for Vancouver after Stefan Marinovic sprained his left knee Thursday.
The Dynamo were outshot by the Whitecaps 15-8. The Dynamo have been outshot by their opponent in three of their nine games this year, all draws.
