Events

Match Events

0' We are underway at Yankee Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
5' 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.
10' 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 Richie Laryea suffering a number of foals already.
15' The travelling Vancouver Whitecaps FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
20' It’s gonna be a card for Andres Perea.
25' New York City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 25.
28' Vancouver Whitecaps FC player sees a card in front of him.
33' It’s high time Vanni Sartini made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
37' It’s a booking for New York City FC player. Santiago Rodriguez gets a card.
42' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 42 minutes.
46' The New York City FC manager makes a substitution. Keaton Parks departs to be replaced by James Sands.
51' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. New York City FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
55' GOAL! Monsef Bakrar scores on 55. Assisted by Santiago Rodriguez
56' The whistle greets Andres Jasson as he departs to be replaced by Julian Fernandez.
57' James Sands is having his name booked by the referee on 57.
60' Goal! Ryan Gauld scores his 45 goal in 297 matches.
65' It looks surprising Vancouver Whitecaps FC does not make any changes. Pedro Vite has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
70' Another change for Vancouver Whitecaps FC made on 70 minute. Alessandro Schopf leaves to be changed by Sebastian Berhalter.
74' Time for substitution for New York City FC. Monsef Bakrar is replaced by Richie Ledezma.
79' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering New York City FC that had 286 games and scored 454 goals.
81' It is a substitution in Vancouver Whitecaps FC team. Brian White is replaced by Sergio Cordova on 81 minute.
82' It is a substitution in Vancouver Whitecaps FC team. Pedro Vite is replaced by Ali Ahmed on 82 minute.
87' Supporters expect more eagerness from Tayvon Gray, as he is very good at scoring at Yankee Stadium with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
90' It’s gonna be a card for Sebastian Berhalter.
The final score is 1-1.
