Vancouver Victory FC moved to the top of the Evergreen Premier League standings on Saturday with an impressive 5-1 win over Bellingham United in front of an announced crowd of 325 at McKenzie Stadium.
Borce Atanasov, returning from nearly a month missed with an ankle injury, scored two goals and added two assists to power the Vancouver attack. He opened the scoring in the third minute of the match with a tremendous shot into the upper corner off the counter-attack.
“Having Borce back gave us that pace and athleticism (at forward),” Victory coach Biniam Afenegus said.
Mirza Ramic, playing attacking midfield, had a goal and an assist for Vancouver. Tavaughn Harriette and Bobby Hutchin also scored for the Victory.
