  • 70' With 1 assists to his name this season, Alphonso Davies is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
  • 75' Marcel de Jong needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 80' Vancouver Whitecaps FC is showing some good football. However, Vancouver Whitecaps FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
