Inter Miami CF have work to do in the second leg of the Concacaf Champions Cup semifinals after falling 2– 0 to Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Thursday night at BC Place.
Despite holding 69 per cent of the possession, Miami could not get a shot past Whitecaps goalkeeper Yohei Takaoka. U.S. men's national team striker Brian White scored for the home side in the 22nd minute, nodding home a cross from Pedro Vite, before Vancouver extended their lead in the 84th minute through Sebastian Berhalter.
While Miami tried to find their way back into the match through a Lionel Messi volley and free-kick, they were unable to muster any offense, and will enter the return leg down a pair of goals on aggregate and without an away goal.
