Ibrahimovic scores twice in Galaxy’s 3-0 win over Whitecaps
CARSON, Calif. — New coach, same result for the Vancouver Whitecaps.
Vancouver (11-12-7) dropped their third in a row with a 3-0 loss to the the Los Angeles Galaxy on Saturday night just days after dismissing head coach Carl Robinson and his assistants, and moving Craig Dalrymple, technical director for the Whitecaps FC Academy, into the role of acting coach for the rest of the season.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic provided the scoring for the Galaxy with a goal in each half as the Whitecaps failed to make ground in the race for the sixth and final playoff spot in the MLS’s Western Conference. Vancouver sits in eighth at 40 points, five behind Real Salt Lake and four back of Los Angeles.
Whitecaps forward Kei Kamara said despite the coaching changes, the club was mentally prepared for the match.
