Cristian Techera struck the only goal of the game as Vancouver Whitecaps picked up their fourth win in five MLS outings with a 1-0 victory over Dallas.

Having lost 4-3 at Sporting Kansas City last time out - after leading 3-1 by the 80-minute mark - the Canadians had a point to prove.

However, it was the visitors who started the better and goalkeeper David Ousted had to tip away Atiba Harris's low drive on 13 minutes.

It was the last goalscoring chance for a while, but Vancouver, with their first meaningful attack, hit the front on 32 minutes when Techera's clever backheel deceived Jesse Gonalez to earn the hosts a half-time lead.

Kekuta Manneh could, and arguably should, have doubled the advantage on 64 minutes by drilling over the bar from a promising position. It was the last real chance and the hosts held on to render their defeat at Kansas a mere blip.
