Events

Match Events

0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for San Jose Earthquakes to score. At the same time, Vancouver Whitecaps FC does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
10' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
15' Vancouver Whitecaps FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
17' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Andy Rose.
22' San Jose Earthquakes has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 2 meetings.
27' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
32' Vancouver Whitecaps FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
37' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Vancouver Whitecaps FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
42' Vancouver Whitecaps FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
45' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Florian Jungwirth.
46' Vancouver Whitecaps FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. David Milinkovic is hanging Russell Teibert on the field on 46 minute.
50' GOAL! Cristian Espinoza scores on 50.
53' Andy Rose catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Red card on 53.
55' Fresh legs for Vancouver Whitecaps FC! Ranko Veselinovic comes on to replace Tosaint Ricketts.
60' Michael Baldisimo was booked on 60.
65' 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 Tosaint Ricketts suffering a number of foals already.
66' A goal from the Argentina international Andres Rios! He fires home on 66 to make it 2-0!
71' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Vancouver Whitecaps FC that had 276 games and scored 424 goals.

73' A change in the Vancouver Whitecaps FC ranks — Michael Baldisimo exits the field as Patrick Metcalfe enters on 73.
75' Erik Godoy catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Red card on 75.
