Vancouver dispatch San Diego to set up Miami meeting in MLS Cup Final | OneFootball

🏆 MLS Cup Final is set! See you all in one week.

FULL TIME!

Vancouver are kings of the Western Conference and they book their ticket to MLS Cup Final with a deserved win on the road in San Diego!

We'll get that Thomas Müller vs Lionel Messi final after all, folks!

Huge Yohei Takaoka save keeps Vancouver two goals to the good in the dying minutes!

RED CARD SAN DIEGO!

Any hopes of a late miracle are surely quashed now as San Diego keeper Pablo Sisniega came flying out of his goal to take down Ryan Gauld. The shot-stopper has been given his marching orders with 10 minutes remaining.

San Diego appear to have failed to capitalize on the momentum of their opening strike, but plenty of credit goes to Vancouver who have weathered the storm with aplomb.

GOAL SAN DIEGO!

Well hold on folks, San Diego have pulled one back thanks to a deflected Chucky Lozano shot!

Game on...?

The speed of the game has slowed considerably as we creep towards the hour-mark. That will Jesper Sørensen and Vancouver perfectly.

We're back out for the second-half in San Diego as the hosts face a true uphill battle to get back into the Western Conference Final.

GOAL VANCOUVER WHITECAPS!

Just like that, Vancouver have hit on the break and extended their lead to three with nearly the last kick of the half.

The hole gets even deeper for San Diego...

San Diego can take some encouragement for how they have finished the first-half, but they remain down by two heading into the break.

San Diego have picked up a head of steam since the second Vancouver goal, but they still have a hole to dig themselves out of.

A truly shocking start from San Diego in front of their home fans this evening. This game could get away from them quickly!

GOAL VANCOUVER WHITECAPS!

Only three minutes later Vancouver have doubled their lead after a scramble in front of goal! The visitors from North of the border are well on top inside 10 minutes.

San Diego look a shell of themselves so far...

GOAL VANCOUVER WHITECAPS!

It took just seven minutes for Vancouver to stun the San Diego crowd and take a stunning early lead!

A superb link-up in the box was capped off by USMNT striker Brian White!

And we're underway in San Diego!

Attention now turns to Southern California where Inter Miami's opponent in the final will be decided between San Diego and Vancouver.

Here we go four round two this evening!

FULL-TIME!

Inter Miami are heading to MLS Cup Final after thrashing NYCFC in the Eastern Conference decider this evening.

It could well and truly be the culmination of the Messi, Miami project. They will now await the winner of tonight's showdown between San Diego and Vancouver.

GOAL INTER MIAMI!

It's a hat-trick for Tadeo Allende as Miami have officially blown NYCFC away in this conference final. Messi who?

GOAL INTER MIAMI!

An absolutely electric counter-attack is capped off by a scintillating one-two between Jordi Alba and Telasco Segovia. Inter Miami are heading to their first MLS Cup final!

On comes Luis Suárez for the final 10 minutes as Miami look to kill the game and book their ticket to the final.

GOAL INTER MIAMI!

NYCFC had a handful of chances to pull level in the last few minutes, but Mateo Silvetti may have stuck a dagger in the comeback after collecting a slick Messi assist.

The lead is back to two with 20 minutes remaining.

NYCFC hit the crossbar!

It may have been ruled had it gone in, but the visitors came so close to leveling the score less than 10 minutes into the second-half.

Tadeo Allende nearly wrapped up his hat-trick and doubled Miami's lead in the process, but the forward saw his point-blank header somehow flash wide.

And we're back underway in Miami! All to play for in this second-half.

HALF-TIME

Inter Miami 2-1 NYCFC

It's been all Miami after NYCFC goal, a great response from the home side.

The air has been taken out of Chase Stadium after that NYCFC goal, but a veteran Miami side surely won't feel too uncomfortable just yet.

GOAL NYCFC!

The curse of the OneFootball editor strikes once again...

A superb Justin Haak header has pulled the visitors right back into the affair as we head towards the half-time break.

Miami look threatening every time they go forward. NYCFC are wrestling some control in their favor, but the Pigeons look feeble whenever the ball goes the other way.

GOAL INTER MIAMI!

Just like that it's 2-0! Miami are running away with it in this first-half and it's Tadeo Allende once again!

GOAL INTER MIAMI!

It had been coming and to nobody's surprise the Herons break the deadlock after going over the top.

A sublime Tadeo Allende finish has Miami in the lead and already with one foot in the final.

Miami with plenty of pressure in the opening 10 minutes. NYCFC are just hanging on at the moment!

And we're underway from Chase Stadium! A place in MLS Cup Final is up for grabs between these two Eastern Conference finalists.
