Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. Vancouver Whitecaps FC get us underway at BC Place.
  • 5' 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 Maxime Crepeau suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 15' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 20' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 25' With 1 assists to his name this season, Pedro Vite is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Los Angeles FC.
  • 30' Ilie Sanchez has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 14 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 34' What a strike from Denis Bouanga! The score is 0-1.
  • 39' Vancouver Whitecaps FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 44' It’s a booking for Los Angeles FC player. Diego Palacios gets a card.
  • 45' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Denis Bouanga on 45 minutes.
  • 50' Vancouver Whitecaps FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 51' The referee has no hesitation. Timothy Tillman is booked for Los Angeles FC — card on 51.
  • 56' Los Angeles FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 57' Los Angeles FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 57.
  • 58' A stunning finish from Ali Ahmed — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 63' The travelling Los Angeles FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 67' The whistle greets Javain Brown as he departs to be replaced by Luis Martins.
  • 68' That looks like a foul for a card for Ilie Sanchez.
  • 71' That is a card for Vancouver Whitecaps FC. Sam Adekugbe will be fuming at that decision.
  • 73' It’s gonna be a card for Giorgio Chiellini.
  • 74' Maxime Crepeau picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 76' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Sebastian Berhalter.
  • 78' The supporters are chanting for Sergi Palencia. He replaces Diego Palacios on 78 minute.
  • 79' The whistle greets Ali Ahmed as he departs to be replaced by Junior Hoilett.
  • 84' Vancouver Whitecaps FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Los Angeles FC backline.
  • 85' The supporters are chanting for Nathan Ordaz. He replaces Carlos Vela on 85 minute.
  • 87' Vancouver Whitecaps FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Simon Becher is hanging Brian White on the field on 87 minute.
  • 88' A tactical swap from Los Angeles FC — Filip Krastev on, Timothy Tillman off on 88 minutes.
  • Game over. The scoreline of 1-1 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
