DC United opened the scoring in the 16th minute, when Nono followed a second chance to beat Yohei Takaoka. Nine minutes later, Brian White brought Vancouver level after reacting first to a loose ball. Bruno Caicedo then put the Whitecaps ahead in first-half stoppage time, turning home Thomas Müller’s assist.
That advantage lasted until the 65th minute, when Lucas Bartlett headed in from Keisuke Kurokawa’s corner. Müller restored Vancouver’s lead seven minutes later, scoring his eighth goal of the campaign after Aleksa Cvetković and Tristan Blackmon contributed assists. Nono completed the scoring in the 80th minute, finishing a move supplied by Hosei Kijima and Bartlett.
Goalkeeping stats reflected the pressure at both ends: Takaoka made four saves for Vancouver, while Sean Johnson recorded six for DC United. The match highlights were the repeated swings in score, but the decisive moment was Nono’s late finish. In summary, the result gave the visitors a comeback point and left Vancouver to settle for a draw after leading at the interval.
