Vancouver Whitecaps FC<\/a> soared into the 2025 Concacaf Champions Cup<\/a> final on Wednesday evening, earning a comprehensive 3-1 victory<\/a> over Inter Miami CF<\/a> in Leg 2 of their semifinal series to advance 5-1 on aggregate.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

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<\/a> winners can potentially host at BC Place.<\/p>\n

Vancouver entered with a 2-0 aggregate lead after last week’s Leg 1 triumph<\/a>, and Miami’s hopes of an epic comeback at Chase Stadium were buoyed by Jordi Alba<\/a> finishing a ninth-minute chance.<\/p>\n

But the Whitecaps found another gear in the second half, stunning Miami with quick-fire goals from Brian White<\/a> (51′) and Pedro Vite<\/a> (53′) before Sebastian Berhalter<\/a> capped his man-of-the-match performance with a 71st-minute tally.<\/p>\n

To underscore the Whitecaps’ dominance, head referee Hector Martinez whistled for full-time after 90 minutes and there was no second-half stoppage time \u2013 sending Vancouver to their first-ever CCC final.<\/p>\n
