Rookie midfielder Kimito Nono was instrumental in the contest, netting his first two goals of his career, including the equalizer in the 80th minute. The Vancouver keeper Yohei Takaoka faced a challenge from Nono in his eighth MLS appearance. Vancouver took the lead in the 25th minute through Brian White, and Bruno Caicedo added a third goal for the Whitecaps with a goal and an assist from Thomas Müller in the 90+3rd minute. DC United responded with a goal from defender Lucas Bartlett in the 65th minute, marking his third career goal and a career-high. Vancouver extended their lead to 3-2 in the 72nd minute when Müller scored his eighth goal of the season, finishing off a 2-2-1 month.",
