Vancouver, British Columbia ? Vancouver’s Christian Bolanos and Sporting Kansas City’s Diego Rubio scored in the first half, and the Whitecaps held on with only 10 men for a 1-1 tie Wednesday night.

Bolanos scored his first Major League Soccer goal, connecting off Cristian Techera’s corner kick in the 14th minute. Belanos deftly slotted into the top corner with a left-footed volley past goalkeeper Alec Kann.

Sporting tied it 13 minutes later on Rubio’s first MLS goal. He scored off a scuffed shot from Kansas City’s Lawrence Olum.
