The Nov. 29 Conference Final marks the third meeting between SDFC and the Whitecaps this season. In their first-ever meeting on June 25 at BC Place, SDFC earned a 5-3 road win over Vancouver behind a four-goal performance from Milan Iloski and a second-half strike from Tomás Ángel. The Whitecaps kept the match close with goals from Edier Ocampo, Mathias Laborda, and Antoine Coupland, but SDFC's early surge was enough to secure all three points. The teams met again on July 19 at Snapdragon Stadium, where Vancouver opened the scoring before defender Ian Pilcher's 79th-minute equalizer sealed a 1-1 draw that kept SDFC atop the conference standings.
