The Vancouver Whitecaps delivered a stunning performance in front of a record crowd at BC Place, defeating Inter Miami 2-0 to take control of their Concacaf Champions Cup semi-final.

Scorers:

• Brian White (24′)

• Sebastian Berhalter (85′)

Vancouver dominated the opening stages, fueled by the electric atmosphere from a packed BC Place — the largest crowd in the club’s history. After missing a couple of early opportunities, in-form striker Brian White rose to the occasion, heading home the opening goal in the 24th minute to ignite the home fans.

Despite the early setback, Inter Miami, loaded with star talent under manager Javier Mascherano, responded by pinning Vancouver deep in their own half for much of the match. However, Miami’s attacks consistently broke down in the final third, as the Whitecaps’ defense held firm.

Just when Miami seemed poised to escape with only a one-goal deficit, Vancouver’s relentless pressure paid off once more. In the 85th minute, Sebastian Berhalter smashed home a second goal, sending the crowd into a frenzy and giving the Whitecaps a massive cushion for the second leg.

The Whitecaps now head to South Florida with a commanding two-goal lead — and critically, Inter Miami failed to score an away goal, leaving Mascherano’s side with a mountain to climb in the return leg.

Key Takeaways:

• Vancouver takes a 2-0 lead to Miami for the second leg.

• Brian White adds to his prolific season with another clutch goal.
