Takaoka secures 14th clean sheet and the Whitecaps secure 2nd place in Supporters’ Shield standings

MONTREAL (AP) — Cheikh Sabaly and Mihail Gherasimencov each scored in the second half, Yohei Takaoka secured his 14th clean sheet of the season, and the Vancouver Whitecaps secured second place in the Supporters’ Shield standings with a 2-0 victory over Montreal on Saturday.

Vancouver (19-8-7) set single-season club records with 64 points and 19 wins en route to the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference ahead of the MLS Cup playoffs.

Montreal (6-20-8) was shut out for the 14th time this season.

Sabaly opened the scoring in the 50th minute. Ryan Gauld intercepted a pass in the middle of the field and found Sabaly for a right-footed shot that was saved by goalkeeper Samsy Keita. Sabaly gathered the rebound and sent a left-footed shot over Keita for his third goal of the season.

Mihail Gherasimencov scored from a difficult angle in the 83rd for his first MLS goal.
