Whitecaps tie FC Dallas 0-0, clinch playoff spot

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) The Vancouver Whitecaps tied FC Dallas 0-0 on Wednesday night to clinch a playoff spot for the second straight season.

Vancouver (15-12-5) is third in the Western Conference, a point behind FC Dallas (15-10-6) and the Los Angeles Galaxy.

Dallas had the best chance to win it, but substitute Blaz Perez's shot in the 90th minute slipped just wide of goalkeeper David Ousted's far post.
