One step away from the ultimate prize.

The Whitecaps are on to the MLS Cup Final after a 3-1 win over San Diego.

Can they take down Lionel Messi next weekend?

FT Thougts:

-An incredibly solid performance from the first to last minute.
-Cubas, Ahmed, White standout players.
-Priso and Laborda held up when needed, as did Takaoka.
-See you in Miami.

Giuseppe Bovalina, in this economy?

Triple sub for the Whitecaps.

San Diego down to ten men as a nice touch from Ryan Gauld leads to a Red Card for the SD keeper.

Wow, huge moment from Duah there.

Game saving stuff.

Yea, that's a very flukey goal.

Warning shot from San Diego no doubt, Vancouver just needs to stay focused here.

Gauld for Müller maybe?

HT Thoughts:

-Vancouver with a great approach to expose San Diego 1v1, two goals from that, one from the press.
-Ahmed and Sabbi cooking.
-White doing what he does.
-Still 45 mins left, how will Jesper manage it?
-Refereeing has been awful for both sides.

Ali Ahmed my goodness.

White finishes the play, 3-0 Vancouver.

San Diego almost scores after an incorrect ruling for a corner kick.

Brain White was very quiet against LAFC, but man, has he been impactful so far, the holdup play and presence in the box has been huge.

Sabbi with the run and San Diego can't handle the pressure!

2-0!

Brian White!!!

What a great team goal.

Cubas with the press and assist!

San Diego supporters not beating the plastic allegations with that anthem.

No surprises for either team.

Should be a good one! Who will face Miami?

#VWFC
November 30, 2025 at 1:24 AM
Time to open up a tab with some flights to Miami, I guess.

Not an ideal sequence for the chances of hosting an MLS Cup Final at BC Place.

Miami up 3-1.

It's matchday in San Diego!

Can Vancouver advance to their first ever MLS Cup Final?

Vancouver headed down to San Diego next weekend for the Western crown.

Minnesota with just 29% possession but somehow actually won the xG battle, peak Ramsay-ball, but not enough.

The grades are in!

The Whitecaps threw everything they had at LAFC and survived a wild night at BC Place to advance.

Who stood out to you?
