The USL-1 top-of-the-table clash between first-place Vancouver and second-place Montreal ended in a 0-0 tie on Friday.
The Whitecaps maintained their three-point lead over the unbeaten Impact with the tie in a game played before 12,103 spectators at Claude-Robillard Sports Complex.
Nick De Santis, a finalist for the USL D1 Coach of the Year award in the last three seasons, was coaching his 100th regular-season game as the head coach of the Impact. His record is now 58 wins, 18 losses and 24 ties.
The expansion California Victory picked up only its second point in six games when it tied Charleston, 1-1, before 765 fans at Kezar Stadium. The game marked the Victory debut of former U.S. U-20 Patrick Ianni, who is on loan from the Houston Dynamo.
In Saturday’s exhibition match against MLS’s Chivas USA, the Seattle Sounders took an early lead thanks to a goal by Frenchman Sebastien Le Toux but eventually fell, 3-1, in front of 5,599 fans at Qwest Field.
