Becher rallies ’Caps to draw

SAINT PAUL, Minnesota — Simon Becher scored unassisted in his first match of the season and it came in the eighth minute of second-half stoppage time, rallying the Vancouver Whitecaps to a dramatic 1-1 draw with Minnesota United on Saturday night.

Becher subbed in and played 20 minutes before delivering the equalizer. His only other goal came last season when he subbed in for an eight-minute stint and scored in the Whitecaps’ 2-1 win over the Houston Dynamo.

Minnesota United (2-0-2) was the only team to beat Vancouver (0-2-3) twice last season.
