Vancouver Whitecaps FC played most of the match with 10 men after centre back Tristan Blackmon was sent off in the seventh minute, but held Los Angeles FC to a 1-1 draw to secure a playoff place, the club reports.

Oliver Larraz scored his first Whitecaps goal just before halftime. Denis Bouanga equalized 40 seconds after the restart. Goalkeeper Yohei Takaoka was named man of the match.

The Whitecaps (15-7-6, 51 points) play at St. Louis City SC on Wednesday, Oct. 14, at 5:30 p.m. PT, and return home to face San Diego FC on Oct. 28.
