Events

Match Events

0' The wait is over. Los Angeles FC get us underway at BC Place.
5' Los Angeles FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
10' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
15' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Vancouver Whitecaps FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
16' Los Angeles FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Cristian Arango is hanging Carlos Vela on the field on 16 minute.
21' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
26' Vancouver Whitecaps FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
31' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
36' Eduard Atuesta has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
41' Marco Farfan has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
46' The Vancouver Whitecaps FC manager makes a substitution. Leonard Owusu departs to be replaced by Ryan Gauld.
47' The deadlock is broken! Brian Rodriguez gets on the scoresheet on 45 minutes.
52' It looks surprising Los Angeles FC does not make any changes. Brian White has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
57' The 39-year-old Tosaint Ricketts has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
60' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Brian White makes it 1-1.
65' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Los Angeles FC winning 0% of all matches.
67' The Los Angeles FC bench stirs into life. Marco Farfan is withdrawn and Raheem Edwards gets his opportunity.
72' Los Angeles FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
73' Another change for Vancouver Whitecaps FC made on 73 minute. Brian White leaves to be changed by Tosaint Ricketts.
78' 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 Leonard Owusu suffering a number of foals already.
81' The whistle greets Deiber Caicedo as he departs to be replaced by Ryan Raposo.
86' Andy Rose has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 13 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
89' Ryan Gauld makes no mistake. The score reads 2-1 and Vancouver Whitecaps FC are in front.
90' Cristian Arango has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 90.
The points are shared — Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2-1 Los Angeles FC. Honours even.
