Second Leg Of Championship

Facing a must win match, Vancouver Whitecaps FC host Toronto FC in the second leg of the Amway Canadian Championship semifinals on Wednesday.

Whitecaps FC also announced on Tuesday that the May 24 match against Seattle Sounders FC has now sold out, but fans can gain access to this match by purchasing prorated season tickets starting from $257.

This will be the first Wednesday home match of the year for Whitecaps FC and, barring a change in the weather forecast, the roof will be open at BC Place for the first time this year.

This will be the final match to #BuckUp for Mental Health, as donations will be accepted at section 213.

Fans also have until Saturday to fundraise and win one of five fantastic prizes, including a 90-minute appearance from head coach Carl Robinson and a ‘Caps player of your choice.

The ‘Caps come into the match on the back of a strong performance on Saturday in a 1-0 road win against Columbus Crew. Erik Hurtado scored his first goal for the club on a terrific left-footed strike into the top corner, a nominee for MLS Goal of the Week.

Whitecaps FC enter the second leg trailing 2-1 after last week’s first leg at BMO Field. Both English international striker Jermain Defoe and United States national team midfielder Michael Bradley scored for the home side, but Kekuta Manneh responded with a late goal as the ‘Caps look to overturn the deficit.

Vancouver must win in order to advance to the final and play for the Voyageurs Cup.

Toronto brings all three of their Designated Players: Bradley, Defoe, and Brazilian striker Gilberto to Vancouver for the match, which proves to be an exceptional game.

Montreal hosts FC Edmonton in other semifinal series, which see’s FC Edmonton enter the match with a 2-1 lead after a first leg victory.

If they advance to the final, the Whitecaps FC would have an additional home match at BC Place in either the first or second leg and if the ‘Caps were to face Montreal, they would host the first leg May 27.

Should Vancouver to play FC Edmonton, they would host the second leg on June 4, so all the pressure is on the Whitecaps to produce in both matches.

Prorated season tickets also remain available.
