VANCOUVER—It’s a part of their history the Vancouver Whitecaps would rather never happened.

The last time the Whitecaps and Toronto FC met in the final for the Canadian Championship was 2016. Vancouver looked to have the Voyageurs Cup in hand, leading late in the match, until Will Johnson scored deep in extra time. That tied the game 2-2, but Toronto won due to an extra away goal.

The Whitecaps and Toronto FC will be looking to create some new history Wednesday when they clash at BC Place Stadium in the opening leg of the two-game, total-goal series. The final will be played next Wednesday at BMO Field in Toronto.
