MINNEAPOLIS — Miguel Ibarra scored in the 60th minute and 10-man Minnesota United held on for a 1-0 win over the Vancouver Whitecaps on Saturday.

Minnesota’s Mason Toye elbowed Whitecaps defender Kendall Waston during a corner and was sent off in the 50th minute for violent conduct.

Ibarra followed his own saved attempt to give Minnesota (4-5-0) the lead 10 minutes later. That was all the Loons needed as goalkeeper Bobby Shuttlesworth made three big saves in the final 30 minutes to preserve the clean sheet.
