Events
Match Events
- 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Vancouver Whitecaps FC and Austin FC get this one started.
- 5' Kekuta Manneh is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Austin FC tonight.
- 7' Poor challenge from Diego Fagundez. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 8' Diego Fagundez is having his name booked by the referee on 8.
- 13' Jon Gallagher has been relatively quiet despite scoring 20 goals in his last 291 appearances.
- 18' Vancouver Whitecaps FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Austin FC backline.
- 23' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 28' 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 Julio Cascante suffering a number of foals already.
- 33' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 33 minutes.
- 38' With 0 assists to his name this season, Brian White is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Austin FC.

- 45' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Sebastian Driussi makes no mistake. 0-1!
- 46' Time for substitution for Vancouver Whitecaps FC. Bruno Gaspar is replaced by Deiber Caicedo.
- 46' The Argentina Sebastian Driussi breaks the deadlock on 45 minutes. 0-2!
- 51' Ryan Gauld has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 56' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 59' Jon Gallagher makes way for Jhohan Romana at the 59 minute mark. A tactical switch from Austin FC.
- 61' Patrick Metcalfe has so much to prove this time. He replaces Leonard Owusu on 61 minute.
- 66' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 70' A stunning finish from Erik Godoy — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 71' A tactical swap from Austin FC — Freddy Kleemann on, Matt Besler off on 71 minutes.
- 74' Another substitution for Vancouver Whitecaps FC to replace Janio Bikel by Ranko Veselinovic on 74 minute.
- 79' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Freddy Kleemann.
- 83' Against the run of play, Deiber Caicedo has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 84' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Deiber Caicedo.
- 87' The Austin FC bench stirs into life. Tomas Pochettino is withdrawn and Kekuta Manneh gets his opportunity.
