The Mexican doubled Chivas' lead in the 14th minute, heading home a cross from Edgar Meja. The goalscorer found the left side of the target once again, this time into the bottom corner after Meja walked past a couple of Whitecaps defenders with ease.

Gershon Koffie caught Kennedy wandering in the 64th minute, firing home a right-footed effort from distance after the goalkeeper's left-footed clearance went straight to him. Kennedy rushed back into his goal after his clearance and made it back in time, but his momentum meant he couldn't readjust in time to stop the Ghanaian's shot into the bottom right corner.

The Whitecaps went into the break two goals down despite holding the ball 55 percent of the time in the first half, but they didn't go scoreless due to a lack of chances.

Manneh hit a stinging shot in the 35th minute after cutting in from the left, but Kennedy was able to deal with the effort by pushing it over the bar.
