10' Vancouver Whitecaps FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
15' 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 Albert Rusnak suffering a number of foals already.
18' Rayan Elloumi is replacing Jeevan Badwal for the Vancouver Whitecaps FC side.
23' The home supporters are growing impatient. Seattle Sounders FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
