Camilo led Vancouver with 12 goals in 2011 but has struggled this season while battling a thigh injury. The goal was his first goal since May 19 against Seattle and just his fourth of the season. "Its hard, because I lost my confidence," said Camilo. "But now Im back, and I hope therell be a lot more (goals)." The Whitecaps improved to 10-7-7 while avenging a loss to Real Salt Lake in Utah two weeks ago. Salt Lake (13-9-3) suffered its second consecutive loss and fourth straight on the road.

Vancouver coach Martin Rennie indicated it was just a matter of time before he finally put the ball in the back of the net. "Its just been coming in the last few games," said Rennie. "You could see it. His confidence is coming back." While Camilo and Richards provided the offence, goalkeeper Brad Knighton and newly-acquired central defender Andy OBrien furnished strong defence for the victors. Knighton was credited with five saves as he picked up the win in his first start as a Whitecap. The 27-year-old Hickory, N.C., native, spent all of last season with the second-tier Carolina RailHawks and had not started an MLS game since October 2010. But he got the nod Saturday as starter Joe Cannon sat out a one-game suspension. "He was a little bit unlucky not to get the clean sheet at the end," said Whitecaps coach Martin Rennie. OBrien, a 33-year-old former Leeds United star who signed as a free agent last month, was pressed into duty earlier than expected after Vancouver captain Jay DeMerit left the game in the first half with a head injury. "Its really good for us to have (OBrien) here at this time. ... I thought he had a fantastic game," said Rennie. "The most important thing is (we got) the result when mmy opportunity came," said OBrien. Colin Kaepernick Grey Jersey. . "Its unfortunate that (DeMerit) got injured." DeMerit collided with Knighton and Salt Lakes Alvaro Saborio as the RSL striker headed a Javier Morales cross off the goalpost. Both Knighton and DeMerit lay on the field for a few minutes while being tended by trainers. DeMerit went off briefly and returned, drawing a large cheer from the crowd. But he appeared groggy and left the game for good in the 31st minute. "He did get a head knock and it looked to me like he was concussed, but thats not official," said Rennie. Rennie said his clubs play went flat after DeMerit went out. But the Whitecaps showed much more energy in the second half. Camilo scored when Real Salt Lake defender Will Johnsons clearing attempt bounced off Darren Mattocks in the 18-yard box and the ball came to him. Camilo promptly rolled a shot into the corner of the net. Richards increased Vancouvers lead six minutes later as he completed a three-way passing play with Mattocks and Camilo. Mattocks started the play from the left corner of the 18 as he sent the ball to Camilo at the top of the box. Camilo then sent a lateral pass to Richards and he fired the ball just inside the right post. Knighton preserved Vancouvers two-goal advantage in the 66th minute as he blocked a Saborio shot and then grabbed the loose ball with OBrien standing guard. It looked like the Whitecaps goalkeeper had secured his shutout in the 86th minute as he dove to stop a curling Paulo Junior shot. But Borchers headed in Juniors cross from the left flank in the second minute of stoppage time after three were added. Salt Lake coach Jason Kreis said his club showed much more grit than it had in several previous road games. But he was not impressed with his players following Camilos goal. "They got a lucky bounce to open up the scoring, and we didnt respond quite as well as Id have liked to have," said Kreis.
