Vancouver Whitecaps' Gershon Koffie scores the only goal of the game against Toronto FC goalkeeper Joe Bendik, back, as Danny Califf, left, looks on during the second half in Vancouver, B.C., on Saturday.
Ghanaian midfielder Gershon Koffie’s goal in the 60th minute gave the Vancouver Whitecaps a 1-0 victory over Toronto FC on Saturday in the 2013 MLS season opener for both teams.
Koffie helped the Caps win their season opener for their third year in a row.
He scored following some beautiful passing shortly after Vancouver took control of a game that was close in the first 45 minutes.
The Whitecaps won their first-ever MLS game against Toronto in 2011 and beat Montreal in last year’s season opener en route to becoming the first Canadian team to qualify for the league playoffs.
