Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to Providence Park that hosts another battle between Portland Timbers and Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
  • 5' Ali Adnan is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Portland Timbers tonight.
  • 10' The energy levels are beginning to show. Giovanni Savarese might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 15' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Vancouver Whitecaps FC winning 100% of all matches.
  • 20' Vancouver Whitecaps FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 25' Supporters expect more eagerness from Fredy Montero, as he is very good at scoring at Providence Park with 5 goals in the last 3 games.
  • 30' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 35' Evan Bush needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 40' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Portland Timbers and Vancouver Whitecaps FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 45' Colombia international Yimmi Chara has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 50' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Portland Timbers that had 296 games and scored 480 goals.
  • 55' A quiet spell here at Providence Park. Portland Timbers seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 60' Pablo Bonilla has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 61' Yimmi Chara makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and Portland Timbers are in front.
  • 66' 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 Cristhian Paredes suffering a number of foals already.
  • 69' It is a substitution in Vancouver Whitecaps FC team. Russell Teibert is replaced by Tosaint Ricketts on 69 minute.
  • 74' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 78' The supporters are chanting for Jaroslaw Niezgoda. He replaces Felipe Mora on 78 minute.
  • 79' Michael Baldisimo has so much to prove this time. He replaces Janio Bikel on 79 minute.
  • 84' Vancouver Whitecaps FC make a change. Jake Nerwinski trudges off to be replaced by Theo Bair on 84 minutes.

  • 90' Cristhian Paredes is replacing Diego Valeri for the Portland Timbers side.
  • The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from Portland Timbers to claim maximum points.
