{allcanada} HEINEMANN EQUALIZES LATE TO GIVE WHITECAPS DRAW WITH CHIVAS

VANCOUVER - Second-half substitute Tommy Heinemann's goal in stoppage time gave the Vancouver Whitecaps a dramatic 2-2 draw with Chivas U.S.A. on Sunday in Major League Soccer action.

Heinemann scored his first goal of the season as he volleyed Erik Hurtado's diving header home just moments before the final whistle. The 26-year-old, who has played sparingly in his first season with Vancouver, enabled the Whitecaps (10-9-7) to overcome a 2-0 deficit.

The Goats (5-14-7), last in the Western Conference by a wide margin, were denied a second consecutive victory, which would have been only their second triumph since May.

Gershon Koffie, in the 64th minute, replied for the Whitecaps after rookie Erick Torres had staked Chivas to its lead with a pair of first-half goals.

Torres now has four goals in his past two games. The 20-year-old has recorded six goals in only seven MLS career games, all starts.

Chivas acquired him on loan in July from his hometown club, also Chivas' parent organization, Club Deportivo Guadalajara of the Mexican League.
