0' In just a few seconds Allianz Field will turn into a battlefield for Minnesota United FC and Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
5' With 0 assists to his name this season, Michael Boxall is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Minnesota United FC.
10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
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 Ryan Raposo suffering a number of foals already.
20' Vancouver Whitecaps FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
25' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Minnesota United FC and Vancouver Whitecaps FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.

46' Derek Cornelius has so much to prove this time. He replaces Andy Rose on 46 minute.
51' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Vancouver Whitecaps FC winning 100% of all matches.
56' It’s high time Adrian Heath made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
57' That is a Yellow card for Vancouver Whitecaps FC. Caio Alexandre will be fuming at that decision.
58' The referee calls foul for Caio Alexandre. He receives a Yellow card.
63' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
65' The crowd applauds Jan Gregus as he leaves the pitch. Ramon Abila steps in for Minnesota United FC.
70' Caio Alexandre is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Vancouver Whitecaps FC so far.

77' Time for substitution for Vancouver Whitecaps FC. Russell Teibert is replaced by Leonard Owusu.
82' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Romain Metanire made 420 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
86' Another substitution for Vancouver Whitecaps FC to replace Janio Bikel by Ryan Raposo on 86 minute.
90' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Osvaldo Alonso.
The final score is 1-0.
