Vancouver Whitecaps have recorded their first win in four MLS matches by overcoming the San Jose Earthquakes at BC Place.

Camilo Sanvezzo fired the hosts in front on the hour mark, finishing clinically from eight yards after being sent through on goal by Nigel Reo-Coker.

Former Scotland international Kenny Miller then doubled Vancouver's lead 16 minutes from time, with Reo-Coker again the architect.

Shea Salinas almost pulled a goal back for San Jose in the dying seconds, but he diverted Jaime Alas's low cross just over the crossbar from close range.
