Events

Match Events

0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Rio Tinto Stadium!
3' The referee calls foul for Javain Brown. He receives a Yellow card.
8' 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 Marcelo Silva suffering a number of foals already.
12' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Marcelo Silva on 12 minutes.
17' Derek Cornelius has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
22' Vancouver Whitecaps FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
27' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
32' 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.
37' Vancouver Whitecaps FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
42' Vancouver Whitecaps FC have won 439 goals from 284 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
43' Damir Kreilach makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and Real Salt Lake are in front.
48' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
53' The home supporters are growing impatient. Real Salt Lake must find a spark to ignite this game.
54' The deadlock is broken! Brian White gets on the scoresheet on 54 minutes.
55' What a moment for Brian White! That strike on 55 puts his side firmly in control.
60' It looks like no one’s ball. Vancouver Whitecaps FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
61' Lucas Cavallini is ready to make an impact after coming on for Brian White at the 61 minute mark.
66' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
68' Another change for Real Salt Lake made on 68 minute. Anderson Julio leaves to be changed by Justin Meram.
73' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
78' Russell Teibert is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Vancouver Whitecaps FC tonight.
80' Ruiz makes way for Everton at the 80 minute mark. A tactical switch from Real Salt Lake.
83' Russell Teibert is ready to make an impact after coming on for Cristian Gutierrez at the 83 minute mark.
85' The referee has no hesitation. Justin Meram is booked for Real Salt Lake — Yellow card on 85.
86' Derek Cornelius gets the nod from Vancouver Whitecaps FC. He replaces Deiber Caicedo and will look to change the dynamic.
89' Controversy at the stadium! Aaron Herrera argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 3-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
