Whitecaps coach Carl Robinson called it “Mission Impossible” on Saturday, and you got the sense he was only half-joking. On Wednesday, the Vancouver Whitecaps face Mexican champions Tigres UANL in one of the biggest matches in their history. The prize at stake: a place in the final of the CONCACAF Champions League.
To get there, the ‘Caps will need goals. They hung on for over an hour in the first leg at the Estadio Universitario, but an own goal from Kendall Waston and a goal from Chilean international Eduardo Vargas gave Tigres a 2-0 lead to take to Vancouver.
