Vancouver Whitecaps 4-0 Forge FC (Whitecaps advance 6-2 on aggregate)
VANCOUVER, BC–The quest for a fourth successive Voyageurs Cup for Vancouver Whitecaps has reached the final as they dismissed Forge FC of Hamilton 4-0 on the night and 6-2 on aggregate. The Whitecaps will await the winner of the tie between Atletico Ottawa and Vancouver FC with the latter holding a 3-1 aggregate advantage. The second leg is on Thursday (7pm ET, OneSoccer) in Ottawa.
Alex Achinioty-Johnson had the best chance for Forge in the second minute, but was denied by a reflex save from Issac Boehmer. It would be all Whitecaps going forward.

Any chances of Forge FC coming back in the tie were effectively extinguished four minutes into the second half after Berhalter scored from the penalty spot after Belal Halbouni was dragged down in the area on a corner kick. Jayden Nelson would close the scoring five minutes from time off a cross from Rayan Elloumi.
