15' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
20' Real Salt Lake are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
25' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
30' Kendall Waston has been relatively quiet despite scoring 9 goals in his last 7 appearances.
35' Nicolas Mezquida is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Vancouver Whitecaps FC so far.
40' 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.
45' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Real Salt Lake and Vancouver Whitecaps FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
50' Real Salt Lake is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
55' Vancouver Whitecaps FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 55.
60' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
65' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jefferson Savarino made 280 appearances and scored 69 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
70' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Carl Robinson will be considering his options from the bench.
75' Vancouver Whitecaps FC have won 424 goals from 276 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
