Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. Seattle Sounders FC host Vancouver Whitecaps FC — let the battle begin!
  • 5' Vancouver Whitecaps FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
  • 10' Egypt international Aly Ghazal has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Seattle Sounders FC that had 288 games and scored 453 goals.
  • 20' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Seattle Sounders FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 25' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 30' Vancouver Whitecaps FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 35' It’s high time Carl Robinson made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 40' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Seattle Sounders FC and Vancouver Whitecaps FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 45' It looks surprising Seattle Sounders FC does not make any changes. Kendall Waston has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 50' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 55' Will Bruin, a USA , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 60' Both keepers have barely been tested. Seattle Sounders FC and Vancouver Whitecaps FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 65' Stefan Marinovic has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 70' The home supporters are growing impatient. Seattle Sounders FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 75' 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.
  • 80' Vancouver Whitecaps FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 85' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 90' 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 Harry Shipp suffering a number of foals already.
  • That’s it! Another goalless match for Seattle Sounders FC and Vancouver Whitecaps FC (для сухой ничьи).
