Obviously, a tough blow to give up the top spot in the West this way, but Vancouver has seen how Dallas will look to attack them. It should be a much different match next weekend.

FT Thoughts: -Obviously, not the way Vancouver was looking for today to go, they'll see Dallas again next weekend. -Red card shaped the match, could also have an impact on the first round of the playoffs. -Whitecaps dominated the last 30+ minutes, but no luck.

Portland has shipped two quick goals to start the second half, and Dallas just found a second goal here at BC Place. Not a great five minutes.

HT Thoughts: -This has been an MLS throwback, choppy end-to-end play, dubious calls, Decision Day drama. -Losing Laborda is huge. -Sabbi with a strong half. -How will Vancouver manage subs in the second forty-five? Pupe and Gauld soon?

Very eventful end to the half, another possible penalty shout from Sabbi, then Dallas almost scores at the other end, but Yohei comes to the rescue.

Sabbi draws the foul from Abubakar, but should it have been a red? No real attempt to play the ball. MĂĽller scores from the spot, though, the Whitecaps are back in it! 1-1.

Huge moment for the Whitecaps inside 10 minutes, as Laborda is caught out on a last-ditch foul and sent off after VAR review. Importantly, he will now miss the first playoff match.

FC Dallas is starting 22-year-old Sam Sarver up front today. The rookie has scored 19 goals in 25 Next Pro games this year. That's a pretty good conversion rate.

FT Thoughts: -One way traffic in the second half, deserved all three points without a doubt. -Whitecaps were not very efficient with all their possession, a lot of that comes down to all the players missing. -MĂĽller clutch, Gauld was lively, Ngando very good off the bench as well.

The line-up pretty much picked itself bar one wing position. Had a few ideas who that might be, but didn't think Jeevan! Nelson Pierre on bench. Looked hungry at training this week. Hope we see him get and take his chance.

FT Thoughts: -Berhalter with two goals and an assist, what more can you say? -MĂĽller and Ahmed also had very good matches. -San Jose was very poor in the midfield and defending in transition. Can see why they concede so much. -Hunt for the top of the West is still on.

It had been all Whitecaps early, but they needed a goal-line clearance from Priso following a corner to avoid conceding.
