Vancouver Reaches First CONCACAF Champions Cup Final

The Vancouver Whitecaps stunned Lionel Messi's Inter Miami with a 3-1 win in Florida, advancing to the CONCACAF Champions Cup final on a 5-1 aggregate. Vancouver's second-half surge, led by goals from Brian White, Pedro Vite, and Sebastian Berhalter, overturned an early Jordi Alba strike for Miami. The result continues Vancouver's unbeaten streak to nine games while handing Miami their third consecutive loss, raising questions about Miami's aging roster. Vancouver has gained newfound respect as a surprise contender in North American soccer. In the final, the Whitecaps will face either Cruz Azul or Tigres, aiming to become the first Canadian team to win the tournament. The victory marks Vancouver's first appearance in a CONCACAF Champions Cup final.
