Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Providence Park. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.

  • 10' Japan international Yohei Takaoka has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 1 assists in the Array this season.
  • 11' That looks like a foul for a card for Kamal Miller.
  • 16' Vancouver Whitecaps FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 21' Brian White is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Vancouver Whitecaps FC tonight.
  • 24' Ryan Gauld adds to his 0 season tally! Vancouver Whitecaps FC lead 0-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 29' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 32' What a moment for Pedro Vite! That strike on 32 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 36' A moment of madness from Andres Cubas on 36 minutes earns him a card. Vancouver Whitecaps FC will be frustrated.
  • 37' Felipe Mora makes way for Eric Miller at the 37 minute mark. A tactical switch from Portland Timbers.
  • 42' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 46' Another substitution for Portland Timbers to replace David Ayala by David Pereira da Costa on 46 minute.
  • 51' 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.
  • 53' Brilliant from the ! Sam Adekugbe makes it 0-3 with a superb finish on 53.
