Brian White and Pedro Vite scored two minutes apart, and the Vancouver Whitecaps stunned Inter Miami 3-1 in the second leg of their CONCACAF Champions Cup semifinal on Wednesday night, spoiling Lionel Messi’s squad’s hopes of making the tournament’s final.
Sebastian Berhalter also scored for Vancouver, which advanced with a 5-1 aggregate scoreline to face either Cruz Azul or Tigres UNAL in the Champions Cup final on June 1.
For Vancouver, the final will represent one of the biggest matches in the club’s history, with the winner of the final set to play in the expanded Club World Cup. They had previously only made it as far as the semifinal in 2017.
Miami entered Wednesday’s match trailing 0-2 in aggregate after being shut out in the first leg last Thursday. That meant they needed to win by at least three goals in regulation on Wednesday to advance.
