The unthinkable happened after the break however, as Vancouver showed off a rip-roaring counter that was capped off by Édier Ocampo to put the cat amongst the pigeons and level things on aggregate.
When it looked like Monterrey would enforce their supremacy once more, they were stunned once more in the final 15 minutes when USMNT striker Brian White came off the bench to put the 'Caps ahead and silence the Rayados faithful.

While the hosts pulled level in stoppage-time on the night through a Sergio Ramos penalty, it was merely consolation as Vancouver had the advantage on away goals.
