Tristan Blackmon responded for the 'Caps, scoring in the 18th minute, and Brian White gave Vancouver a 2-1 lead in the 29th minute. Start your day with a roundup of B.C.-focused news and opinion.

Forge levelled the score in the 34th minute when Ampomah picked up another failed Whitecaps clearance and sent it to Brian Wright, who popped it into the back of the Vancouver goal. The 'Caps will host the second half of the two-legged semifinal series in Vancouver on Sept. 16. The other semifinal series was set to begin later on Wednesday with CPL clubs Vancouver FC and Atletico Ottawa facing off in Langley, B.C. The Whitecaps can be forgiven for being distracted with their new global soccer superstar Thomas Muller arriving in Vancouver on Wednesday. He will train with the Whitecaps this week and is expected to play some role in the team's MLS game at BC Place against Houston on Sunday. Muller arrived to the airport to great fanfare with hundreds of fans there to greet him, and was unveiled to the media on Thursday.
