Brian White delivered a masterclass in finishing, netting four goals as the Vancouver Whitecaps dismantled Austin FC 5-1 at BC Place on Saturday. The 29-year-old striker's historic performance included goals in the 13th, 59th, and 83rd minutes, with another coming before the hour mark.
“It’s one of those games where you can find a good rhythm,” White said. “I was just fortunate enough to put myself in good positions, some good chances, and I was just fortunate enough to put a couple away.”
