Goals from Quincy Amarikwa and Simon Dawkins guided the in-form San Jose Earthquakes to a 2-1 win at Vancouver Whitecaps.
In the only MLS match on Friday, Dawkins added to Amarikwa's first-half opener on the hour-mark as the streaking Earthquakes extended their unbeaten run to five games.
Nicolas Mezquida netted a stoppage-time consolation goal for the Whitecaps, but the Earthquakes held on for their first road victory of the season, with San Jose now undefeated since July 8.
