5' A quiet spell here at Allianz Field. Minnesota United FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
10' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
15' Canada international Cristian Gutierrez has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
20' 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 Ranko Veselinovic suffering a number of foals already.
25' Minnesota United FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
29' Michael Boxall has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 29.

51' It looks like no one’s ball. Minnesota United FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
56' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Vancouver Whitecaps FC that had 284 games and scored 439 goals.
57' The referee calls foul for Caio Alexandre. He receives a Yellow card.
58' Vancouver Whitecaps FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 58.

70' Minnesota United FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
72' Ramon Abila puts Minnesota United FC on the lead.
73' Jakob Nerwinski is replacing Bruno Gaspar for the Vancouver Whitecaps FC side.
74' Poor challenge from Ramon Abila. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
