Speaking of presents, did you know he scored four goals in one match against Austin on the 12th of April?! Crazy, right? He became the 18th player in MLS history to do so, making him damn near legendary![4] And hey, he's also the first Vancouver Whitecaps FC player to reach 50 regular-season goals! This guy's a record breaker![3]
But it's not just about personal milestones; Brian also scored the winning goal in two crucial games, including a 2-0 victory over Colorado on the 5th of April.[1] He also nailed the game-winning goal in the Whitecaps' 2-0 first-leg semifinal victory against Inter Miami in the CONCACAF Champions Cup—talk about clutch![2]
Hold on to your hats, because it gets better! The Whitecaps went on a winning streak in April, culminating in a 3-0-1 record, putting them five points ahead of second-place Portland in the Western Conference standings![1] Now that's what I call domination!
Finally, Brian White was named the fourth Vancouver Whitecap to be named MLS player of the month, joining a notable trio: Octavio Rivero, David Ousted, and Camilo Sanvezzo.[1] If the pattern continues, there'll be a White Statue of Liberty in their stadium soon!
