The Vancouver Whitecaps are close to reaching the summit of the CONCACAF Champions Cup but face a difficult last climb to the final.
The Whitecaps lead Inter Miami 2-0 heading into the deciding game of their two-leg series Wednesday night at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, which will kick off at 5 p.m. PT.
The Whitecaps have a huge advantage, but also realize Lionel Messi and the rest of Miami’s star-studded lineup won’t give up easily.
“We’re close but still far away,” head coach Jesper Sorensen told a news conference Tuesday. “We’re up against a good team where a lot of stuff can happen.
“They will be hungry to win, but we will be as well. We’re not putting too much into it, honestly [being ahead]. We know we have to play a game.”
