AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Ryan Gauld used his head to score early in the second half, and Yadaly Diaby netted the winner in the 71st minute after subbing in six minutes earlier to rally the Vancouver Whitecaps to a 2-1 victory over Austin FC on Saturday night.

Neither team scored until Myrto Uzuni found the net unassisted in the 40th minute to give Austin a 1-0 lead at halftime. Uzuni’s goal was his seventh after scoring six times last season, his first in the league.
