Events

Match Events

0' It’s Showtime! The match between Seattle Sounders FC and Vancouver Whitecaps FC is underway.
5' 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.
10' It looks surprising Seattle Sounders FC does not make any changes. Pedro Vite has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
15' Nouhou Tolo has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 38 cards already picked up this season.
20' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
25' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
30' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
34' Poor challenge from Alex Roldan. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
39' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 39 minutes.
44' Vancouver Whitecaps FC is showing some good football. However, Vancouver Whitecaps FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
49' Joshua Atencio, a USA , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
54' Vancouver Whitecaps FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
56' Leo Chu has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 56.
60' A change in the Vancouver Whitecaps FC ranks — Junior Hoilett exits the field as Alessandro Schopf enters on 60.
63' That is a card for Vancouver Whitecaps FC. Mathias Laborda will be fuming at that decision.
66' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Alessandro Schopf on 66 minutes.
70' A tactical swap from Vancouver Whitecaps FC — Javain Brown on, Mathias Laborda off on 70 minutes.
71' Vancouver Whitecaps FC ring the changes. Sam Adekugbe has done his job and it is now time for Ryan Raposo to step up.
72' Heber is ready to make an impact after coming on for Leo Chu at the 72 minute mark.
73' Yeimar Gomez was booked on 73.
78' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Seattle Sounders FC and Vancouver Whitecaps FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
83' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Seattle Sounders FC that had 292 games and scored 457 goals.
84' Another substitution for Vancouver Whitecaps FC to replace Pedro Vite by Ali Ahmed on 84 minute.
87' Seattle Sounders FC make a change. Jordan Morris trudges off to be replaced by Reed Baker-Whiting on 87 minutes.
90' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Richie Laryea.
The final score is 0-0.
