Saturday night at BC Place, the Vancouver Whitecaps got the better of visiting Real Salt Lake by a score of 2-1, as they continue a historic run to start the 2025 season. It was perhaps one of Vancouver’s better tests of the season in MLS play, as Salt Lake played a tough road game and gave Vancouver a good challenge, with a couple of contentious decisions that could have gone either way.

Welcome back, everyone. After the emotional high of reaching a continental final on Wednesday night in Miami, the Vancouver Whitecaps are right back in action this weekend in MLS play, as they will host Real Salt Lake at BC Place. Match Preview: Underwhelming RSL In terms of Vancouver's squad, rest after the heavy travel will have to be considered. Brian White, in particular I would assume might sit this one out after coming off with some muscle tightness in Miami.

Skip to content Welcome back, everyone. This is it. The Whitecaps are in Miami for a Wednesday night match that could send them to a cup final. The only question now is if Vancouver can take care of business for a second time against Messi and the gang.

Sunday afternoon in Minnesota, the Vancouver Whitecaps picked up a big 3-1 road win over the Loons, pushing Vancouver’s lead at the top of the Western Conference to seven points. This easily could have been a match where the Whitecaps let their grip slip ever so slightly on the league table, as with a massive second leg coming up on Wednesday in Miami, there was always going to be some distraction overhanging what otherwise would have been a marquee matchup at the top of the West.

Thursday night at BC Place, the Vancouver Whitecaps took another step closer to the CONCACAF Champions Cup Final, with a 2-0 first leg win over Inter Miami. When you write about this kind of thing for long enough, it’s easy to become prone to hyperbole. Yet, I think I can say rather emphatically that Vancouver’s performance on Thursday night is one of the biggest in club history, and it will certainly become even more hallowed if the Whitecaps can finish the job down in Florida next Wednesday.
