FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – For a brief period during Saturday’s Eastern Conference Final, Inter Miami CF ’s dream of hosting MLS Cup 2025 presented by Audi looked to be in jeopardy.

That moment was quickly and thoroughly forgotten, however, as the Herons erupted for three second-half goals to cruise to a 5-1 rout of New York City FC at Chase Stadium.

Miami will now welcome Western Conference champions Vancouver Whitecaps FC to Chase Stadium on Dec. 6 for the Philip F. Anschutz Trophy (2:30 pm ET | MLS Season Pass, Apple TV ; FOX, FOX Deportes; TSN, RDS).

“We’re working with a clear idea: to make history with this club,” midfielder Rodrigo De Paul told Apple TV post-match. “This is an extremely happy moment.”
