Vancouver Whitecaps focused ahead of regular-season finale against CF Montreal

VANCOUVER - The Vancouver Whitecaps believe their job is far from done.

The 'Caps (18-8-7) have already clinched the top spot in Major League Soccer's Western Conference and with it home field against any Western team in the playoffs.

There's still lots to play for, though, as the team prepares to visit CF Montreal on Saturday for the final game of the regular season, said striker Brian White.

“We're out to get three points. I think that's the way we look at it," he said. "Obviously, they don't have much to play for at this moment, so you don't know how they're going to come out. But we have everything to play for, and we're going to go out with the best intention to win that game."

With post-season hopes dashed, Toronto FC to play for pride in season finale

Gregory Strong, The Canadian Press 4 minute read Yesterday at 4:44 PM EST

TORONTO - After falling short in a late-season push for a playoff spot, Toronto FC will play for pride Saturday when the Major League Soccer club closes out its regular season against the Philadelphia Union.

A 3-1 loss in Atlanta last Sunday sealed TFC's fate. It's the sixth season in a row that the club has missed the post-season.

"It's devastating, honestly," Toronto forward Theo Corbeanu said Wednesday after a team training session. "Really, really annoying. Very frustrating to not be able to get into the playoffs."

Toronto (9-12-12) felt like it was in must-win mode in recent weeks and delivered some decent results to get within striking distance of the ninth-place cutline in the Eastern Conference.

A healthy Alphonso Davies is finally set to rejoin Canada's men's soccer team.

"I'm super excited to have him back," Marsch said Tuesday on a video call. "I think the whole team is. I think he's going to add a lot to who we are."

Davies, Canada's captain, played limited minutes in just one game at this summer's World Cup as he recovered from a hamstring injury. He then missed the nation's three friendlies in late September and early October for his honeymoon.

Joseph Wilson, The Associated Press 3 minute read Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Spanish police have opened an investigation into possible involuntary manslaughter after a soccer player died following an on-field collision with the opposing team's goalkeeper in a second-division match.

Tenerife forward Jesús de Miguel died after he suffered cardiac arrest from the on-field collision, his club said Tuesday. He was 30.

De Miguel was challenging for the ball near midfield on Monday when he was struck in the chest by the onrushing Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono during added time. Owono was shown a straight red card for the incident.

The country’s National Police said Tuesday that an investigation was opened and prosecutors will also be involved.

The organizing committee “approved to reschedule the flagship national team tournament in light of the current exceptional circumstances arising from developments in the region, including substantial logistical complexities and travel disruptions,” the AFC said in a statement.

VANCOUVER - The Montreal Roses won the Supporters' Shield this year for finishing first in the six-team Northern Super League's regular season.

ATLANTA (AP) — Miguel Almiron and Alexey Miranchuk each had a goal and an assist, Cooper Sanchez also scored, and Atlanta United beat Toronto FC 3-1 on Sunday.

VANCOUVER - There's no such thing as a meaningless game for the Vancouver Whitecaps.

While the team has already clinched a post-season berth, captain Ryan Gauld said the team still has lots to play for as Major League Soccer's regular season winds to an end.

“We want to finish the season as strong as we can, and we do that by winning games," he said after the 'Caps thumped their regional rivals the Seattle Sounders 5-1 on Sunday.

"Obviously, it was nice to have the first seed kind of wrapped up before today, but we still wanted to win today. We want to win next week. So, there's not too much thought going into playoffs. We'll focus on (next week’s) game and get ready for it.”

Arsenal beats Liverpool 1-0 to end Anfield torment and go top of the Premier League

Steve Douglas, The Associated Press 4 minute read Sunday, Nov. 1, 2026

Arsenal eked out its first win at Anfield in 14 years by beating Liverpool 1-0 through Kai Havertz’s first-half goal to climb to first place in the Premier League on Sunday.

Not since 2012 — when current manager Mikel Arteta was commanding the team’s midfield — had Arsenal won at Liverpool’s intimidating home ground.

The curse was broken by Havertz, who slotted home a close-range finish at the back post after a low center across the face of goal by all-action midfielder Declan Rice in the 16th minute.

Arsenal then defended doggedly, especially in the first half when the visitors were pinned back by Liverpool, to keep its sixth clean sheet in nine games of a title defense that is going according to plan.

NEW YORK (AP) — Daniel Ríos scored two minutes into second-half stoppage time to rally CF Montreal to a 1-1 draw with New York City FC on Saturday at Citi Field.

The draw against Montreal (6-19-8) leaves NYCFC (9-12-12) on the brink of missing the playoffs. A road victory by the New York Red Bulls over Nashville SC on Sunday would end its chances.

NYCFC took a 1-0 lead into halftime after Andrés Perea took a pass from Nicolás Fernández Mercau in the 41st minute and scored his career-high fourth goal of the season. It was the ninth assist in the first full season for Fernández Mercau, who had one in 11 league appearances last year.

That's where the scored stood until Rios delivered the equalizer.

TORONTO - Kaylee Hunter scored two goals in leading AFC Toronto to a 4-2 victory over Ottawa Rapid FC in the first leg of their Northern Super League semifinal matchup on Saturday.

April Lantaigne and Lena Silano also scored for Toronto, which takes a two-goal aggregate lead into next Saturday's second leg of the semifinal in Ottawa. Toronto looks to make a return to the final after falling in last year's inaugural title game to Vancouver.

“It's an amazing feeling, but I think all of it came from the team," Hunter said after the game. " … We need to build off this momentum that we built and go into next week at 0-0. Same momentum and just bring another good game.”

Lantaigne opened the scoring for Toronto in the 12th minute when she slid a shot in off a cross from inside the box from Hunter. It was Lantaigne's first professional goal.
