  • 10' Nicolas Mezquida is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Vancouver Whitecaps FC so far.
  • 15' 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.
  • 20' 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.
  • 25' Bernie Ibini-Isei is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Minnesota United FC tonight.
  • 30' Bobby Shuttleworth has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 35' With 0 assists to his name this season, Francisco Calvo is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Minnesota United FC.
  • 40' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 45' Vancouver Whitecaps FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 50' Minnesota United FC have won 449 goals from 301 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.

  • 75' The home supporters are growing impatient. Minnesota United FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 80' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 85' Minnesota United FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
