The Whitecaps advanced into the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) Champions Cup final.

The Whitecaps won the two-leg, total-goal semifinal series 5-1 on aggregate. Vancouver will oppose either Tigres UNAL or Cruz Azul in the final June 1. The all-Mexican semifinal is set to conclude Thursday in Mexico City. Miami, down 2-0 after the first leg in Vancouver last week, got back into the series when Jordi Alba scored on 12-yard, left-footed shot in the ninth minute.

Vancouver re-established control in the 51st minute when Sebastian Berhalter set up White for a flicked goal from close to the penalty spot to level the evening's contest at 1. Vite moved the Whitecaps one step closer to the final when his 53rd-minuteshot from the top of the box took a big deflection and flew into the top right corner of the net.

A Miami giveaway in its own territory set up Vancouver's final goal, a left-footed half-volley by Sebastian Berhalter from 14 yards out in the 71stminute. Inter Miami star Lionel Messi played all 90 minutes and took six shots, with two going on target.
