Snapdragon Stadium | San Diego, California<\/p>\n
To reach this stage of the Audi 2025 MLS Cup Playoffs, both teams won their Round One Best-of-3 Series and Western Conference Semifinal.<\/p>\n
Conference Finals utilize extra time (two 15-minute periods) if the game is tied after regulation. Then, if necessary, a penalty kick shootout determines the winner.<\/p>\n
Standings: Western Conference No. 1
\nRegular season: 63 points (19W-9L-6D)<\/p>\n
San Diego are the second expansion team to reach a Conference Final in their inaugural season, joining the 1998 Chicago Fire<\/a>. That team, led by legendary American coach Bob Bradley, ultimately won MLS Cup.<\/p>\n That gives San Diego another goal to pursue in their historic debut campaign, which has already featured expansion-team records for points (63) and wins (19) in the regular season.<\/p>\n They keep getting big-time performances from Danish international Anders Dreyer<\/a>, who has 4g\/2a in four playoff games. The Newcomer of the Year<\/a> and Best XI<\/a> winger had 19g\/19a in the regular season, trailing only Inter Miami<\/a> megastar Lionel Messi<\/a> for the goal contributions lead.<\/p>\n Most recently, Dreyer’s second-half strike secured a 1-0 win<\/a> over Minnesota United FC<\/a> in the Conference Semifinals. They advanced past the Portland Timbers<\/a> in Round One.<\/p>\n Standings: Western Conference No. 2 Vancouver are fresh off an all-time Conference Semifinal, defeating LAFC<\/a> on penalty kicks after a wild 2-2 draw<\/a>. The Whitecaps welcomed a club-record crowd<\/a> (53,957 fans) for an end-to-end match that Thomas M\u00fcller<\/a> said contained “everything was what makes our sport so beautiful.”<\/p>\n Now, Vancouver will look to make their first-ever MLS Cup. This year, they’ve already made the Concacaf Champions Cup<\/a> final, won a fourth straight Canadian Championship<\/a> and set numerous club records during the regular season.<\/p>\n M\u00fcller has been immense for head coach Jesper S\u00f8rensen’s team, tallying 9g\/4a in 11 games since arriving in August from Bayern Munich. Alongside him, USMNT<\/a> midfielder Sebastian Berhalter<\/a> and striker Brian White<\/a> are both enjoying career years, while Paraguayan midfielder Andr\u00e9s Cubas<\/a> glues everything together.<\/p>\n The Whitecaps will have to game-plan without center back Tristan Blackmon<\/a>. The 2025 MLS Defender of the Year<\/a> was shown a late red card vs. LAFC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"How to watch & stream When Where Snapdragon Stadium | San Diego, California To reach this stage of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":72138,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[5322,16416,74,1254,76,75,42311,6532,40873],"class_list":["post-72137","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-diego","tag-how-to-watch","tag-mls-cup-playoffs","tag-san-diego","tag-san-diego-fc","tag-san-diego-headlines","tag-san-diego-news","tag-sdvsvan-11-29-2025","tag-sendtonews","tag-vancouver-whitecaps-fc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72137","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=72137"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72137\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/72138"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=72137"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=72137"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=72137"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
