Kekuta Manneh scored early and late as the Vancouver Whitecaps edged Toronto FC, 4-3, in a Saturday night thriller at BMO Field.

The visitors raced out to a two-goal lead inside the opening 20 minutes. Manneh intercepted a square ball by Damien Perquis and raced toward goal, tapping past Toronto FC goalkeeper Clint Irwin to give the Whitecaps a 1-0 lead in the 12th minute.

Six minutes later, Christian Bolanos scored off a rebound of a saved Manneh shot after he was played through by Erik Hurtado to double Vancouver’s lead.
Giovinco pulled Toronto FC within a goal in the 38th minute, settling a long ball by Perquis with a sublime first touch before clinically finishing with his left from 14 yards out.

Three minutes earlier Jozy Altidore had a chance from the penalty spot after being tripped inside the box by Russell Teibert. But David Ousted made a diving save on the U.S. international, who left the match with a hamstring injury moments later.

Giovinco leveled in the 66th minute, played in with a clever through ball by Michael Bradley, but Manneh and Pedro Morales each scored in a two-minute span to double Vancouver’s lead midway through the second half.

Four minutes after Fraser Aird was sent off for his second bookable offense, reducing the Whitecaps to 10 men, Drew Moor scored his first goal for Toronto FC 10 minutes from full time, latching onto a Giovinco at the back post to pull the hosts within 4-3.
