The AFCON Champion officially made his Major League Soccer debut two weeks ago for Vancouver Whitecaps during their resounding 3-0 victory against Toronto.

Sabaly has 12 caps for AFCON champions Senegal

The massive win took Whitecaps to the top of the Western Conference League standings with 12 points same as Los Angeles FC from four matches.

Sabaly made a shocking move to Major League Soccer during the winter transfer window from French Ligue 1 side Metz.

Sabaly before a move to the United States this year from Metz, had loan spells at Pau and Quevilly-Rouen. He has 12 caps with a goal and he was a member of the Senegal squad that defeated Morocco 1-0 to win their second Africa Cup of Nations title.
