Events

Match Events

0' Three points are at stake. Seattle Sounders FC host Vancouver Whitecaps FC — let the battle begin!
3' Poor challenge from Mathias Laborda. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
8' 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 Jayden Nelson suffering a number of foals already.
11' Alex Roldan makes way for Kalani Kossa-Rienzi at the 11 minute mark. A tactical switch from Seattle Sounders FC.
16' Seattle Sounders FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Vancouver Whitecaps FC backline.
19' Time for substitution for Seattle Sounders FC. Yeimar Gomez is replaced by Kee-hee Kim.
24' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
29' Vancouver Whitecaps FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Thomas Muller scoring 1 goals.
34' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Vancouver Whitecaps FC winning 100% of all matches.
39' Both keepers have barely been tested. Seattle Sounders FC and Vancouver Whitecaps FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
40' A moment of madness from Paul Rothrock on 40 minutes earns him a card. Seattle Sounders FC will be frustrated.
45' Daniel Rios has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 45.
46' Brian White is replacing Daniel Rios for the Vancouver Whitecaps FC side.
51' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
52' A stunning finish from Brian White — that came from absolutely nowhere!
54' Jackson Ragen does the damage! The net is bulging and Seattle Sounders FC surge ahead!
55' Albert Rusnak puts Seattle Sounders FC on the lead.
60' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
62' Sebastian Berhalter gets the nod from Vancouver Whitecaps FC. He replaces Thomas Muller and will look to change the dynamic.
67' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Seattle Sounders FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
69' What a strike from Mathias Laborda! The score is 2-2.
74' It looks surprising Seattle Sounders FC does not make any changes. Daniel Rios has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
79' Another change for Vancouver Whitecaps FC made on 79 minute. Brian White leaves to be changed by Rayan Elloumi.
82' The Seattle Sounders FC bench stirs into life. Jesus Ferreira is withdrawn and Osaze De Rosario gets his opportunity.
87' Andres Cubas needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from to claim maximum points.
