Callender finished with five saves in goal for Minnesota United (6-6-5), which has gone 0-3-3 during a six-match winless stretch. Callender earned his fifth clean sheet over 17 starts in his first season with the Major League Soccer club after posting 10 shutouts in 91 starts with Inter Miami.

Takaoka had three saves for the Whitecaps (10-3-3). It was his seventh shutout in 15 starts this season and his 34th in 115 career starts.
