Vancouver Whitecaps FC continue their 2016-17 CONCACAF Champions League campaign on Tuesday night in Kansas City (5 p.m. PT on CONCACAF Facebook page) – and there’s a quarter-final berth on the line.
Here’s the situation:
The ‘Caps are in the Group C driver’s seat after the first two matches thanks to a 1-0 road win over Central FC and 3-0 home win over Sporting KC. Those two teams drew their first meeting last month, which gives Vancouver a five-point cushion atop the standings.
GROUP C STANDINGS
| TEAM | GP | W | L | D | GD | PTS |
| Whitecaps FC | 2 | 2 | 0 | 0 | +4 | 6 |
| Sporting KC | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | -3 | 1 |
| Central FC | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | -1 | 1 |
So about that quarter-final berth…
The ‘Caps will advance to the knockout rounds for the first time in club history with a win on Tuesday or in their group stage finale against Central FC on September 28 at BC Place.
