Knock out punch: Late winner sees Vancouver Whitecaps advance in Leagues Cup

A late Brian White winner lifted the Caps to the knockout stages of Leagues Cup, polishing off LA Galaxy 2-1 in another second half turnaround for Vancouver.

Up to the task: Caps draw Club Leon to open Leagues Cup

The Caps went blow-for-blow with CONCACAF’s best, opening their Leagues Cup campaign with a 2-2 draw against Club Leon at BC Place — the first time they’ve faced a Mexican opponent since 2017. Initially the Caps looked well off the pace of their more decorated side. But an inspired start to the second half propelled the kings of Canada back into the match, though a … Continue reading Up to the task: Caps draw Club Leon to open Leagues Cup
