Dockal scores twice as Union beat Whitecaps 4-0, snap skid
CHESTER, Pa. — Borek Dockal scored twice, Ilson Pereira had a goal and an assist and the Philadelphia Union beat the Whitecaps 4-0 on Saturday to snap Vancouver’s six-game unbeaten streak
Philadelphia had nearly 60-per cent possession and outshot the Whitecaps 25-2, including 11-0 on target, en route to ending a two-game losing skid.
Dockal opened the scoring in the 24th minute, side-netting a left-footer from the centre of the box, and doubled the advantage in the 71st. Alejandro Bedoya tapped it to Dockal at the top of the box where he won Brek Shea’s challenge and then cut back to evade another defender before blasting a rising shot past a diving Brian Rowe to make it 2-0.
Ilsinho and Fabrice Jean-Picault scored on penalty kicks for the Union (6-7-3) to cap the scoring.
