Events

Match Events

0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at !
5' Philadelphia Union is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
10' With 1 assists to his name this season, Fafa Picault is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Philadelphia Union.
15' Warren Creavalle has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
20' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
25' Vancouver Whitecaps FC have won 428 goals from 279 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
30' Philadelphia Union are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Vancouver Whitecaps FC backline.
35' It’s high time Jim Curtin made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
40' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
45' Borek Dockal has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
50' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
55' It looks like no one’s ball. Philadelphia Union is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
60' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Jim Curtin will be considering his options from the bench.
65' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
70' Alphonso Davies is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Philadelphia Union tonight.
75' 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.
80' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Doneil Henry made 279 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
85' Vancouver Whitecaps FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
90' 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 Jake Nerwinski suffering a number of foals already.
The referee brings this contest to a close. Philadelphia Union take all three points.
