Apr 30, 2025; Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, USA; Vancouver Whitecaps players celebrate a goal by forward Brian White (24) against Inter Miami CF during the second half at Chase Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Sam Navarro-Imagn Images Goals from Brian White and Pedro Vite in a two-minute span of the second half sent the Vancouver Whitecaps to a 3-1 win over Inter Miami in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., on Wednesday and into the 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-minute shot 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 71st minute.
Inter Miami star Lionel Messi played all 90 minutes and took six shots, with two going on target.

Keely Hodgkinson to race 800m at London Diamond League
Great Britain’s Olympic champion Keely Hodgkinson will race the 800m at the London Diamond League meeting in July.The 23-year-old went unbeaten over the distance in 2024, winning European and Olympic titles and being crowned Sports Personality of the Year. She was the first Briton to win an Olympic 800m title for 20 years, since Dame Kelly Holmes in Athens, 2004.AdvertisementAt the London Diamond League last year, which was her final outing before the Paris Games, Hodgkinson ran a 1:54.61 to set a British national record and move up four places to sixth on the all-time list — GB swept the podium that day, as Jemma Reekie and Georgia Bell (the latter is Hodgkinson’s training partner at the Manchester-based M11 track club) finished second and third.“I remember after last year’s race thinking, ‘Can we do that all over again?’,” Hodgkinson said […]
Rudy Gobert, Timberwolves show basketball world they’ve ‘figured it out’
LOS ANGELES — The concern on Mike Conley’s face could not be hidden two months ago, after his first glimpse of these new-look, Luka Dončić-led Los Angeles Lakers.Conley’s Minnesota Timberwolves were in Crypto.com Arena on Feb. 27, Dončić’s sixth game in a Lakers uniform. Even though Dončić wasn’t particularly sharp, the Lakers cruised to a 111-102 victory. Long after the visiting locker room cleared out, Conley felt like a member of the Rebel Alliance on Alderaan, craning his neck toward the sky as the Death Star was being assembled.AdvertisementThe Western Conference playoff landscape shook under his feet the day that the Lakers acquired Dončić from the Dallas Mavericks in the most stunning trade in league history. When Dončić and LeBron James toyed with the Wolves in their first meeting, Conley could not help but feel a little sorry for himself.Dončić […]
Koubek povede Plzeň dál! Úspěšný kouč prodloužil s Viktorií smlouvu
Podle informací Sport.cz se s vedením klubu ohledně prodloužení kontraktu předběžně dohodl už před závěrečným kolem základní části, v tomto týdnu obě strany dohodu stvrdily podpisy. Koubek do Plzně původně přišel v létě 2023 v roli tzv. překlenovacího trenéra. S nově se tvořícím týmem, který po příchodu nových švýcarsko-rakouských vlastníků klubu prošel omlazovací kúrou, ale svádí už druhým rokem zázrak.Po loňském čtvrtfinále Konferenční ligy, třetím místě v české lize a finále Mol Cupu, dovedl Viktorii v této sezoně do osmifinále Evropské ligy a v lize s ní bojuje o druhou příčku. Čtyři zápasy před koncem nadstavby mají západočeši na třetí Ostzravu náskok 4 body, na čtvrtou Spartu 6 bodů. Bylo tedy jisté, že pokud se bude 73letý stratég cítit fit a plný energie, v Plzni zůstane dál. Management Viktorie proto ani nevyvíjel přílišnou snahu s variantou B. Spekulovalo se sice dlouho o příchodu nynějšího kouče druholigové Zbrojovky Brno Martina Svědíka, k jeho případnému angažování však v klubovém vedení údajně nepanovala […]
Meet the Chargers’ undrafted free agents: Nuggets on all 18 players
The Los Angeles Chargers have agreed to terms with 18 undrafted free agents. That group, along with the nine draft picks and tryout invitees, will take the field at The Bolt next weekend for the Chargers’ rookie minicamp.Undrafted free agents always face pretty long odds in trying to crack the 53-man. But coach Jim Harbaugh has said he views the active roster as 70 players, not just 53, because of the game day activation rules. The Chargers can keep up to 17 players on their practice squad — 16 standard players plus a roster exemption for International Player Pathway tight end Jordan Petaia. A practice squad player can be elevated to the game day roster three times without actually signing to the active roster.AdvertisementThe ultimate goal is, of course, earning a 53-man spot. Initially, these undrafted free agents will be […]
Inside Calvin Pickard’s long journey to starting Oilers’ Round 1 playoff games
LOS ANGELES — This was never supposed to be the plan for Calvin Pickard.That Pickard has started the last three playoff games for the Edmonton Oilers isn’t how coach Kris Knoblauch would have drawn it up a few months ago.The Oilers started the season by charting a course for how to best prepare Stuart Skinner for a long playoff run. Pickard’s role, as it’s often been in his career, was to relieve Skinner and provide mentorship to the younger goalie.AdvertisementBut Skinner’s inconsistent play and late-season concussion changed Knoblauch’s thinking to the point where he knew he’d have to rely on Pickard.“We’re very fortunate that Calvin, who’s a typical backup goalie, is a gamer,” Knoblauch said. “He’s ready. He likes the pressure. A lot of credit to him.”And so it’s been the veteran journeyman who’s backstopped the Oilers from a 2-0 […]
The Nebraska football 123: A post-spring update on the Huskers roster
LINCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska is not waiting for guidance to trim the fat from its football program.The Huskers’ post-spring roster sits at 123 players, down from more than 150 last season. Nebraska has shifted depth toward the defense, beefing up on the line even as it reduces overall numbers.Nine players entered the transfer portal during the April window. Among the Huskers who chose to exit, only Grant Seagren, a backup offensive tackle, appeared in position to contend for important playing time in 2025.AdvertisementThe roster at the start of May includes 20 seniors and 20 true freshmen. It’s got balance. But it’s not complete. Nebraska is prepared to add a punter in the weeks ahead. Another depth piece at a position of need remains on the table.There will be a round of attrition in the summer months, with or without a […]
