Cristian Techera scored his fourth goal in two games and Yordy Reyna notched a goal and an assist to help Vancouver Whitecaps beat Colorado Rapids 2-1 in Major League Soccer on Friday.
Colorado have now lost seven games in a row while Vancouver snapped a five-game winless run, including a franchise-record four consecutive draws.
Techera, who had his first career hat-trick on Saturday, opened the scoring in the 17th minute. Yordi Reyna, at the top of the box, tapped it to Techera on the right side. He clutched as defender Tommy Smith slid by and fired a left-footer just inside the near post.
