Overview
- Vancouver advanced 4-3 on penalties after a 2-2 draw through extra time before a sellout crowd of roughly 53,000–55,000 at BC Place.
- Emmanuel Sabbi scored in the 39th minute and Mathias Laborda made it 2-0 in first-half stoppage time after Hugo Lloris parried a Thomas Müller header.
- Heung-Min Son pulled LAFC level with goals in the 60th minute and at 90+5, forcing extra time.
- Vancouver played the entire extra period a man down after Tristan Blackmon’s second yellow at 90+2, then won the shootout as Son hit the post and Laborda converted the clincher.
- Müller was instrumental before being substituted after regulation, and his Vancouver spell now stands at nine goals and four assists in 11 appearances as he signals he expects to stay for a second season.
