Vancouver Whitecaps FC<\/a> continued the best start in their MLS history Saturday night, improving to 6W-1L-0D, and they have a familiar hero to thank.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Brian White<\/a> secured all three points with his 87th-minute insurance goal in a 2-0 victory<\/a> over New York City FC<\/a> at BC Place.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n The US men\u2019s national team<\/a> forward scored his team-leading sixth goal of the season in seven starts, putting him well on pace for a fourth consecutive season with double-digit goals.<\/p>\n It was also the 700th goal in the club’s MLS history, and leaves White one goal behind Golden Boot presented by Audi co-leaders Petar Musa<\/a> (FC Dallas<\/a>) and Sam Surridge<\/a> (Nashville SC<\/a>).<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n BRIAN WHITE WITH #700 FOR OUR CLUB AND ADDING THAT WRIGHT PHILLIPS CELLY \ud83c\udf89 \u2014 Vancouver Whitecaps FC (@WhitecapsFC) April 12, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote><\/div>\n \u201cEver since Jesper [S\u00f8rensen] has come in, they\u2019ve tried to push me to be more comfortable on the ball. Whether it’s holding the ball up, switching sides. I\u2019ve pushed myself to be more selfish,\u201c said White.<\/p>\n \u201c\u2019Selfish\u2019 \u2013 like my half chances to really try and push myself and try and create goals. I just kept trying to score, my teammates giving me good passes, just kept trying and trying, and then finally, it fell in.\u201d<\/p>\n The 30-year-old was active throughout against NYCFC and put seven shots on frame, repeatedly denied by USMNT goalkeeper\u00a0Matt Freese<\/a>, before being rewarded three minutes from full-time with a diving header inside the six-yard box.<\/p>\n White then honored former Red Bull New York<\/a> teammate Bradley Wright-Phillips with his goal celebration.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \n \n
