The Vancouver Whitecaps team's explosive play in MLS competitions continued this past weekend, where the Vancouver Whitecaps team played its third match of the season at its home ground, BC Place Stadium.

Vancouver Whitecaps did not stop here and in the 73rd minute, Sabaly scored a goal for the team and brought the score to 6-0.

The Whitecaps team has now won the first four matches of MLS, where in the first match on February 21, the team won 1-0 against Real Salt Lake.

After this, on February 28, the Whitecaps defeated Toronto 3-0 in the All Canadian match.

Then on March 7, the Whitecaps won 4-1 in the away game against Portland.

For the Whitecaps, this is the strongest start in the first four matches in their club history of MLS competitions.

Whitecaps had suffered a loss at the hands of Seattle 2 days before Sunday's game. Head coach Jesper Sorensen, was asked after the match, if this was the kind of bounce back performance he was looking for from Thursday. Sorensen said, “Yes, of course. It was more than we even hoped for. But we would like to come back strong and bounce back from what we thought was a disappointment (against Seattle). I think that we really came out strong. Even though it was only two-and-a-half days since we played last game, I think the players looked fresh and looked really eager to come out here and push the pace, and play with great quality I have to say. It was a great game obviously, and we’re very happy.”
