PORTLAND, OR – With four goals in his last five games, Kei Kamara is both literally and figuratively leading Vancouver Whitecaps FC as they climb up the Western Conference ladder.
Fueled by timely goals and a “bend but don't break” defense, much of Vancouver's run has been predicated by their ability to earn points on the road. The ‘Caps are 3W-2L-1D in their last six league matches, including a 2-2 draw at New York City FC and Saturday’s 2-1 win over Portland at Providence Park, which broke the Timbers’ 15-game unbeaten run.
