Events

Match Events

0' The game is set. Real Salt Lake kicks off things out of here…
5' Real Salt Lake are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Vancouver Whitecaps FC backline.
10' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Real Salt Lake and Vancouver Whitecaps FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
13' The referee has no hesitation. Fafa Picault is booked for Vancouver Whitecaps FC — card on 13.
18' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Bjorn Utvik made 14 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
22' The Real Salt Lake manager makes a substitution. Philip Quinton departs to be replaced by Nelson Palacio.
27' 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 Isaac Boehmer suffering a number of foals already.
29' A moment of madness from Javain Brown on 29 minutes earns him a card. Real Salt Lake will be frustrated.
33' That looks like a foul for a card for Alexandros Katranis.
38' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Vancouver Whitecaps FC winning 100% of all matches.
43' Brian White has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 19 cards already picked up this season.
48' 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.
53' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
57' Vancouver Whitecaps FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ryan Gauld is hanging Deiber Caicedo on the field on 57 minute.
58' Ryan Gauld puts Vancouver Whitecaps FC on the lead.
63' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
66' The Real Salt Lake bench stirs into life. Diogo Goncalves is withdrawn and Dominik Marczuk gets his opportunity.
70' A meaty challenge results in booking for Tristan Blackmon on 70.
70' Vancouver Whitecaps FC make a change. Fafa Picault trudges off to be replaced by Ali Ahmed on 70 minutes.
72' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Sam Adekugbe.
73' Brilliant from the ! Diego Luna makes it 1-1 with a superb finish on 73.
78' Over 78 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
81' Another change for Vancouver Whitecaps FC made on 81 minute. Alessandro Schopf leaves to be changed by Stuart Armstrong.
82' A goal from the Canada international Isaac Boehmer! He fires home on 82 to make it 1-2!
85' That is a card for Vancouver Whitecaps FC. Ali Ahmed will be fuming at that decision.
87' Real Salt Lake manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Andrew Brody is hanging Alexandros Katranis on the field on 87 minute.
90' It’s a booking for Vancouver Whitecaps FC player. Sebastian Berhalter gets a card.
Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-1.
