- 5' Cristian Roldan, a USA , has 16 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 9' GOAL! Jordan Morris fires home to make it 1-0!
- 14' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Seattle Sounders FC and Vancouver Whitecaps FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 19' Sebastian Berhalter has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 24' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 29' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 34' Seattle Sounders FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Vancouver Whitecaps FC backline.
- 36' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Obed Vargas.
- 41' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Albert Rusnak made 283 appearances and scored 77 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

- 64' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 69' 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 Alessandro Schopf suffering a number of foals already.
- 74' Stefan Frei is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Vancouver Whitecaps FC so far.
- 76' Pedro De la Vega gets the nod from Seattle Sounders FC. He replaces Joao Paulo and will look to change the dynamic.
