Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Philadelphia Union and Vancouver Whitecaps FC has kicked off!
  • 5' 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.
  • 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 Auston Trusty suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 20' The home supporters are growing impatient. Philadelphia Union must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 25' Philadelphia Union are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Vancouver Whitecaps FC backline.
  • 30' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 35' The energy levels are beginning to show. Jim Curtin might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 40' It looks surprising Philadelphia Union does not make any changes. Jose Aja has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 45' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Carl Robinson will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 50' Vancouver Whitecaps FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 55' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 60' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 65' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 70' Alejandro Bedoya needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 75' Philadelphia Union currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 80' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Philadelphia Union and Vancouver Whitecaps FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 85' The travelling Vancouver Whitecaps FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 90' Philadelphia Union are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
