WEEKLY STORYLINES
WIN TO STAY IN: After falling to a narrow 2-1 defeat last weekend, Vancouver Whitecaps FC will be aiming to even up their Round One Best-Of-3 Series against LAFC on Sunday as they host the second match in front of home support at BC Place. Sunday will mark the 11th meeting between the 'Caps and the Black and Gold since April 2023, having previously met in MLS regular season, 2023 MLS Cup Playoffs, 2023 Concacaf Champions League, and Leagues Cup 2024 competition. A 'Caps win this weekend would see the two sides meet for the third and final match of the series in Los Angeles on Friday, November 8.
