Events

Match Events

0' That's the starting whistle at Lumen Field. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Seattle Sounders FC and Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
5' Shane O'Neill doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
6' What a strike from Shane O'Neill! The score is 2-0.
11' Yeimar Gomez has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 20 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
14' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Nicolas Benezet makes it 3-0.
19' 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.
24' Thomas Hasal is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Seattle Sounders FC tonight.
29' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Janio Bikel made 22 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
34' 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 Fredy Montero suffering a number of foals already.
36' The referee has no hesitation. Bruno Gaspar is booked for Vancouver Whitecaps FC — Yellow card on 36.
41' Over 41 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
42' Yeimar Gomez catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 42.
43' The referee has no hesitation. Nicolas Benezet is booked for Seattle Sounders FC — Yellow card on 43.
46' GOAL! Deiber Caicedo fires home to make it 3-1!
51' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
55' Goal! Will Bruin scores his 28 goal in 288 matches.
56' Will Bruin makes no mistake. The score reads 5-1 and Seattle Sounders FC are in front.
61' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jakob Nerwinski, as he is very good at scoring at Lumen Field with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
66' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
71' Seattle Sounders FC ring the changes. Nicolas Benezet has done his job and it is now time for Danny Leyva to step up.
72' A meaty challenge results in booking for Ryan Gauld on 72.
77' Jimmy Medranda has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
78' Tosaint Ricketts is ready to make an impact after coming on for Cristian Dajome at the 78 minute mark.
83' Seattle Sounders FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Vancouver Whitecaps FC's shape.
85' The Seattle Sounders FC bench stirs into life. Abdoulaye Cissoko is withdrawn and Leo Chu gets his opportunity.
90' Russell Teibert needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 4-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
