FC Dallas left British Columbia with a 5-0 defeat and a longer wait for the first look at Toyota Stadium's new East Side.
Vancouver Whitecaps FC scored four times before halftime Saturday at BC Place and added another after the break, the Associated Press reported. Emmanuel Sabbi opened in the 11th minute. Brian White, back from a hamstring absence, scored in the 23rd and 37th minutes for a brace that raised his season total to 12 goals in 18 appearances.
Edier Ocampo headed in an Andres Cubas service in first-half stoppage time and also recorded an assist. Bruno Caicedo finished the scoring in the 68th.
Vancouver moved to 12-4-4 and 40 points, first in the Western Conference and two points ahead of Houston, according to the AP. FC Dallas fell to 9-6-6 and 33 points. The result snapped a three-game unbeaten run that included back-to-back wins. Dallas held 39 percent possession. Goalkeeper Jonathan Sirois made three saves; Vancouver's Yohei Takaoka needed one for the clean sheet.
Homegrown start on a long road trip
Homegrown fullback Josh Torquato, 19, made his first start of 2026, the club said. Torquato had five appearances last season and recently scored twice for the U.S. under-20 team at the Concacaf championship, where the Americans finished runners-up, per FC Dallas.
The match sat inside an 11-game road stretch across all competitions that the club said will cover more than 15,000 miles before it ends Sunday, Aug. 30, at St. Louis CITY SC at 6 p.m. CT on Apple TV's Sunday Night Soccer.
FC Dallas listed a 6-4-2 road record in MLS play entering the Vancouver match and said its six away wins tied for second in the league.
Canadian Press reporting carried by Brandon Sun listed an announced crowd of 25,398 and framed the result as Vancouver's first MLS home win since April 25 after World Cup-related stadium disruptions.
