Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami face the Vancouver Whitecaps tonight at Chase Stadium, aiming for a historic spot in the CONCACAF Champions Cup final. Here are all the possible scenarios.
Inter Miami and Vancouver Whitecaps face off in the second leg of the CONCACAF Champions Cup semifinals tonight (April 30) at Chase Stadium for a historic spot in the final. The Herons must overcome a 2–0 deficit, and Lionel Messi is expected to feature in the match.
Vancouver hold the advantage after winning a tightly contested first leg at home, with goals from Brian White and Sebastian Berhalter. Despite having Messi and other stars in the lineup, Miami were unable to find the back of the net.
The first leg was marked by high emotions and physical play. Messi, who was subjected to several fouls, showed visible frustration, engaging in verbal exchanges with Whitecaps midfielder Andres Cubas and some Vancouver fans.
Now, everything is on the line. After also losing their last MLS match against Dallas, 4–3, Javier Mascherano’s side are aiming for a historic run to the Champions Cup final. Here’s what’s at stake tonight:
If Miami win by a margin of three or more goals, they will advance to the final. A one-goal victory would not be enough, and the team would be eliminated. A 2–0 win would tie the aggregate score at 2–2 and send the match to extra time.
A draw tonight would see Inter Miami eliminated, as they lost the first leg. However, if the match goes to extra time and remains tied after that, the outcome will be decided by a penalty shootout.
A loss would eliminate Inter Miami and send Vancouver through to the Champions Cup final. While Miami have enjoyed a strong run in the tournament, this would mark a difficult exit for Mascherano’s squad.
