  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against D.C. United SC and Vancouver Whitecaps FC has kicked off!
  • 5' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. D.C. United SC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 15' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Alphonso Davies suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' The travelling Vancouver Whitecaps FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 25' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering D.C. United SC that had 278 games and scored 380 goals.

  • 45' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 45 minutes.
  • 50' 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.
  • 55' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 60' It looks like no one’s ball. Vancouver Whitecaps FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 65' Steve Birnbaum has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 15 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 70' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
