HISTORIC! Vancouver Whitecaps reach Champions Cup final over Inter Miami
Vancouver Whitecaps FC soared into the 2025 Concacaf Champions Cup final on Wednesday evening, earning a comprehensive 3-1 victory over Inter Miami CF in Leg 2 of their semifinal series to advance 5-1 on aggregate.
The Whitecaps now await the single-match CCC final on June 1, meeting the winner of Thursday’s semifinal decider between Mexican sides Cruz Azul and Tigres UANL. The three-time defending Canadian Championship winners can potentially host at BC Place.
Vancouver entered with a 2-0 lead after last week’s Leg 1 triumph, and Miami’s hopes of an epic comeback at Chase Stadium were buoyed by Jordi Alba finishing a ninth-minute chance.
But the Whitecaps found another gear in the second half, stunning Miami with quick-fire goals from Brian White (51′) and Pedro Vite (53′) before Sebastian Berhalter capped his man-of-the-match performance with a 71st-minute tally.
To underscore the Whitecaps’ dominance, head referee Hector Martinez whistled for full-time after 90 minutes and there was no second-half stoppage time – sending Vancouver to their first-ever CCC final.
