Seattle Sounders seek to eliminate rival Vancouver Whitecaps FC | OneFootball

MIAMI – The 2026 Concacaf Champions Cup continues with Seattle Sounders FC hosting Vancouver Whitecaps FC in the Second Leg of their Round of 16 series on Wednesday at One Spokane Stadium in Spokane, Washington, USA.

Seattle took a 3-nil win in Vancouver in the first leg to put its rivals in a disadvantageous situation. Paul Arriola secured a brace by scoring the first two goals before Paul Rothrock put the game out of reach in the second half.

Vancouver Whitecaps FC, runners-up in the 2025 edition, will need at least three goals to turn the result around. The likes of Sebastián Berhalter, Thomas Müller and Brian White will be out with sight to score.

The winner of this series on aggregate will advance to the Quarterfinals. Away goals serve as the first tiebreaker. If necessary, extra time and a penalty shootout will be played to decide a winner.

Looking Ahead to The Round of 16 second Leg

The defeat was the second home loss for Vancouver Whitecaps in a series in any stage in the tournament’s history, after losing by the same scoreline against Los Angeles FC in the Quarterfinals of the 2023 edition (Apr-5-2023). History also shows that whenever Whitecaps FC lost the first leg of a series, they were eliminated, including the 2023 Quarterfinals vs LAFC (aggregate 6-0).
