- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between FC Dallas and Vancouver Whitecaps FC is underway.
- 5' 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.
- 10' Brian White has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 5 goals this season.

- 30' Magnificent from Lucas Cavallini! That is 21 goals in 279 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 35' 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 Cristian Gutierrez suffering a number of foals already.
