MONTREAL -- The Vancouver Whitecaps earned some revenge and a big three points
on the road while also leaving Montreal coach Marco Schallibaum and the Impact
hopping mad.

scored from the penalty spot and Camilo Sanvezzo came off the bench to add two
late goals as the Whitecaps kept their playoff hopes alive with a 3-0 victory
over the sagging Impact on Saturday afternoon. But it was a penalty that referee
Jorge Gonzalez called, then overturned, in the first half that had Schallibaum,
Montreals oft-suspended coach, in a lather. Vancouver led 1-0 in the 38th minute
when Patrice Berniers shot from distance after a corner kick glanced off Jun
Marques Davidsons arm or shoulder at the left post. With Impact players calling
for a penalty and Whitecaps players and coach Martin Rennie screaming no foul,
Gozalez hesitated, then pointed to the spot. He then changed his mind after
consulting with fourth official Mathieu Bourdeau. "Its a scandal," said
Schallibaum, the first-year coach who has been suspended four times for a total
of five games for various infractions. "A decision was made and all of a sudden,
its not made. "Im not saying that won the game, but if we have this penalty and
its 1-1, it can change a lot of things." The Whitecaps (11-10-8), who began the
day seventh in the Western Conference, ended a string of three straight road
games with a win that keeps them in the crowded Western Conference playoff race
The Whitecaps ended a five-game winless run and picked up only their second
victory in 10 games. Montreal (13-9-6) lost a second straight home game. "We had
three road games and we wanted to get four points and we did," said Rennie. "A
3-0 result is good anywhere, but to get it against a rival and a good team like
Montreal shows the team is coming together." It also avenges Montreals win on
the away goals rule in a two-game series in the Amway Canadian Championship in
May. There was no argument about Millers goal in the 23rd minute. Vancouver
looked to be the fresher team from the start and struck first after Nigel
Reo-Coker blew past 37-year-old Alessandro Nesta on the right side. As he
crossed the ball, defender Hassoun Camara fell and, as he was getting up, Matt
Watsons shot hit his arm in the 23rd minute. Gonzalez had no choice but to call
a penalty. Miller made no mistake with his eighth goal of the year but only his
second in the last 10 games. Bedlam came 15 minutes later on the disputed hand
ball. Whitecaps defender Jay DeMerit said the refs got it right in the end by
consulting a video replay. "Its using the system in a positive way," he said.
"Every team had been burned on penalties that werent penalties. "And the whole
point of having a fourth official and the whole point of taking an extra 30
seconds to make sure that call was right is the reason for this. We use this
technology and we use our fourth officials to make sure we make the right calls.
"Thankfully for us, he made the wrong call and corrected himself, because the
last thing you want is it to be a tie game when it actually wasnt a hand ball."
Thats not how Montreal saw it. "Ive never seen anything like that," said veteran
midfielder Justin Mapp. "I had a good view of it. "I dont think Ive ever seen a
reversed PK call, but Im not an official. Its tough to get that call at home. It
would have helped us." The officials released a statement after the game that
the decision to reverse the call was made by the entire crew, which found that
"there was not an intentional handling of the ball on this play." It added that:
"The referee crew determined that the ball struck the Vancouver players
chest/shoulder area of the body with no intention to play the ball with his
hand." Montreal pressed hard in the second half and nearly tied it as Felipe
Martins volleyed Mapps pass off the bar and another Felipe shot was tipped off
the bar by goalie David Ousted. Then Camilo got one on a counter-attack in the
89th minute and another in added time -- his 15th and 16th of the season -- to
put the game away. "We were disappointed not to win the Canadian Championship,
but fair play to Montreal -- they came into our stadium and beat us to win it,"
said DeMerit. "But the league takes precedence. "To come back and get a win
right now was a huge step for us going into the final games of the season. We
needed these three points." Fatigue may have been a factor for Montreal, which
was playing its third game in eight days. It was a week to forget, as the Impact
blew a lead and lost 2-1 at home last weekend to Columbus, then was beaten 3-0
in San Jose in CONCACAF Champions League play. "Obviously, we want to correct
those things," said Mapp. "We wish we were winning games by shutouts, but
sometimes thats how it goes. "Youve got to move onto the next game. Well be men
and a correct whats wrong. But I thought we were the better team. The 3-0
scoreline is a bit misleading." Felipe will sit out Montreals next game after
picking up his fifth yellow card for a dive in the Vancouver area. Miller was
substituted in the 60th minute by Camilo and Russell Teibert went in after 65
minutes for Tommy Heinemann.

lead.NEW YORK -- The Freeway Face-Off will have a different look for one game
next year. The National Hockey League announced Monday that Los Angeles Kings
will play host to the Anaheim Ducks in a regular-season outdoor game at Dodger
Stadium on Jan. 25. It will be the southern-most outdoor NHL game ever and the
first-ever in California. "With their meeting in the 2014 Coors Light NHL
Stadium Series, the Ducks and the Kings will write the next chapter in the
exciting story of NHL hockey in Southern California," commissioner Gary Bettman
said in a release. "At a venue that represents so much glorious sports history,
this matchup of Stanley Cup champions will raise our outdoor initiatives to bold
new heights. We know the game will be a treat for our fans, and we thank the
Ducks, the Kings, Coors Light, Dodger Stadium and the Los Angeles Dodgers for
bringing it to life." The matchup is part of a previously announced series of
games planned for outdoor locations next season. Dodger Stadium, which opened in
1962, is home to the Los Angeeles Dodgers of Major League Baseball.

Stadium has been home to many unique and special moments over the past 51
years," said Dodgers president Stan Kasten. "Well add another first in 2014 when
the Dodger Stadium infield turns to ice as we host our first National Hockey
League game between the Los Angeles Kings and the Anaheim Ducks." Since the
advent of a second team in Southern California 20 years ago, the Freeway
Face-Off between the Ducks and Kings has been among the most spirited NHL
rivalries. The first-ever NHL regular-season outdoor game was played in 2003
when the Edmonton Oilers hosted the Montreal Canadiens at Commonwealth Stadium.
Since then, the NHL has played six additional regular-season games outdoors. The
NHL recently announced that the 2014 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic is scheduled
for Jan. 1 when the Detroit Red Wings will host the Toronto Maple Leafs at
Michigan Stadium. In addition, the Chicago Blackhawks and Pittsburgh Penguins
will face off March 1 at Soldier Field.
