VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 13 (UPI) -- Camilo Sanvezzo scored in the opening minute and Long Tan scored in the first minute of the second half Wednesday to bring Vancouver a 2-1 win over D.C. United.
United lost its third in a row and suffered a blow in its bid to make the playoffs. New York and Houston currently hold down the final two playoff spots and both remained five points in front of United.
Vancouver has won just six games all season, but two of those victories have come in the Whitecaps' last two contests.
Sanvezzo gathered in a cross by Jordan Harvey and scored from the center of the box before the game was a minute old. Tan's goal came on a header in the first minute of the second half.
Brandon McDonald brought United within one in the 57th minute.
