CONCACAF Champions Cup: Whitecaps, Galaxy advnace
March 13 - Second-half goals from Edier Ocampo and Brian White led the Whitecaps to a 2-2 draw with Monterrey on Wednesday in Torreon, Mexico, as Vancouver won the teams' CONCACAF Champions Cup round of 16 match. The teams finished the two-game, total-goal series level at 3-3, but the Whitecaps advance to the quarterfinals thanks to the away-goals tiebreaker. The sides played to a 1-1 draw last week in Vancouver. On Wednesday, Monterrey grabbed the advantage on a goal by Sergio Canales in the fourth minute. Ocampo equalized in the 56th minute, firing a 12-yard right-footed shot inside the far post to complete an impressive team counterattack. White put the Whitecaps on top in the 78th minute after Vancouver stole the ball at the top of the Monterrey 18-yard box. The ball popped free to White, who had time to play the ball onto his right foot and roll the ball inside the right post. A penalty-kick goal by Monterrey's Sergio Ramos deep into second-half stoppage time wasn't enough for the hosts. Galaxy 4, Herediano 1 Julian Aude and Miguel Berry scored in the first half at Carson, Calif., as Los Angeles overcame a first-leg deficit to oust Herediano by a 4-2 aggregate score. Herediano won the series opener 1-0 last week in Costa Rica. In the 30th minute on Wednesday, Aude hit a half-volley from just above the penalty area that flew inside the left post. Eight minutes later, Berry's right-footed shot from 6 yards out bounced before landing in the net. Second-half tallies from Gabriel Pec and Christian Ramirez expanded the Galaxy's lead before Jose De Jesus Gonzalez scored a consolation goal for Herediano in the 82nd minute. The Galaxy advance to face Mexico's Tigres UANL in the quarterfinals.

Galaxy beat Herediano to reach quarterfinals of CONCACAF Champions Cup
The Galaxy made history last season, winning a record sixth MLS Cup, going unbeaten in 21 matches at Dignity Health Sports Park and becoming the first team to have four players reach double digits in both goals and assists. Less than a month into this season the team made history of a different sort by becoming the first reigning MLS champion to lose its first four games. Which brings us to Wednesday's CONCACAF Champions Cup game with Herediano. The Galaxy's dominant 4-1 win won't count in the MLS standings, but it certainly counts everywhere else. By reversing a one-goal loss to Herediano last week in Costa Rica, Wednesday's result gave the Galaxy a 4-2 aggregate-goal victory in the two-leg round-of-16 playoff, lifting the team into the quarterfinals of the confederation's most prestigious club competition for the first time in a decade. The Galaxy will face Mexican club Tigres UANL, the 2020 tournament champion, in a two-game series next month. More importantly, the win showed the Galaxy may be ready to reverse course. And it was midfielders Isaiah Parente and Harbor Miller, who spent most of last season playing for Ventura County FC, providing the spark, combining for three assists. The Galaxy's start this year was as dismal as last season was brilliant. Nor only did they fail to win a game, but they also didn't even lead in one. They lost on turf and natural grass. They lost at home and on the road. They lost in the U.S., Canada and Costa Rica, scoring just once and getting shut out three times. Three losses came in MLS play, equaling the team's longest losing streak in five seasons. Coach Greg Vanney made no excuses for his team's abysmal start, but there were explanations. Five starters, including midfield motor Riqui Puig and winger Joseph Paintstil, two of last year's leading scorers, are injured. Four others, including MLS Cup most valuable player Gaston Brugman and forward Dejan Joveljc, who scored a playoff-high six goals, had to be traded to get the team under the league's tight salary cap. Vanney can't replace all of that offense, but in Parente and Miller he appears to have found two players who can help pick up the slack. Neither played more than 15 minutes in the first two losses but both started the last two games and the difference had been dramatic, with the team dominating both matches in times of possession, shots and shots on goal and showing signs it is about to wake from its slumber. Julian Aude gave the Galaxy their first lead of the season in he 30th minute Wednesday, one-timing a soft, one-bounce cross from Parente off the left post. The assist was Parente's first with the Galaxy and he got another before the first half ended, with Miguel Berry doubling the lead in the 38th minute after Parente set him up by playing a far-post cross from Tucker Lepley back into the center of the box. That gave the Galaxy a 2-1 lead in aggregate goals in the two-game playoff and they didn't stop there. Gabriel Pec, the Galaxy's only healthy designated player, made it 3-0 eight minutes after the intermission, this time off an assist from the teenager Miller. And with a frustrated Herediano pushing for an away goal to get back in the playoff, Christian Ramirez closed out the scoring with a goal against the run of play in the 76th minute. The Galaxy also got a big game out of goalkeeper John McCarthy. McCarthy was the starter last year, winning his second MLS Cup in three seasons. But Vanney went with Novak Micovic in the first three games this year, and Micovic was beaten a conference-worst seven times. This story originally appeared in Los Angeles Times.
