Yohei Takaoka made one save, earning his fifth shutout of the season. <\/p>\n<p>Sabbi ran onto a loose ball just outside the six-yard box and his first touch shot hit the underside of the crossbar to take the lead in the 13th minute. <\/p>\n<p>Sporting KC (1-6-1), which made four consecutive threes, now has four points and a minus-13 goal difference, both of which are at the bottom of the Western Conference. <\/p>\n<p>Caicedo, making his first start (and only his third appearance) in his career, curled a low shot from the left of the area in the 23rd minute, but it deflected off the far post, and in the 28th minute, Sabbi&#8217;s cross into the area was headed in by M\u00fcller. <\/p>\n<p>John Palskamp made three saves for Kansas City.<\/p>\n<p>Vancouver defeated Sporting 25-3. <\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>AP Soccer: <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\">https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/soccer<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/sporting-kc-whitecaps-score-e759e5dc18b4f6f950a9dcb42e3a189c\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) \u2014 Emmanuel Sabbi had a goal and an assist, 21-year-old Bruno Caicedo scored his first MLS goal, and the Vancouver Whitecaps continued their best start to the season in club history with a 3-0 win over Sporting Kansas City on Friday night.
