Events
Match Events
- 0' What a night it is going to be! Vancouver Whitecaps FC welcome Minnesota United FC for this crunch clash at BC Place.
- 5' Ranko Veselinovic is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Minnesota United FC tonight.
- 10' Vancouver Whitecaps FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
- 15' 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.
- 18' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Ranko Veselinovic.
- 23' Pedro Vite needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 24' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Hassani Dotson makes no mistake. 0-1!
- 29' Vancouver Whitecaps FC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 2 meetings.
- 34' Minnesota United FC have won 416 goals from 285 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 39' 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 Brian White suffering a number of foals already.
- 44' Jefferson Diaz has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 285 appearances.
- 45' That is a card for Minnesota United FC. Tani Oluwaseyi will be fuming at that decision.
- 50' Joaquin Pereyra has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 55' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ryan Gauld made 298 appearances and scored 47 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 58' Minnesota United FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Joseph Rosales is hanging Joaquin Pereyra on the field on 58 minute.
- 59' Ryan Raposo has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ali Ahmed on 59 minute.
- 64' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 69' The referee has no hesitation. Kelvin Yeboah is booked for Minnesota United FC — card on 69.
- 69' It is a substitution in Vancouver Whitecaps FC team. Andres Cubas is replaced by Sebastian Berhalter on 69 minute.
- 70' Loic Mesanvi is ready to make an impact after coming on for Sang-bin Jeong at the 70 minute mark.
- 75' Dayne St. Clair is having his name booked by the referee on 75.
- 77' A moment of madness from Jefferson Diaz on 77 minutes earns him a card. Minnesota United FC will be frustrated.
- 79' Damir Kreilach is replacing Mathias Laborda for the Vancouver Whitecaps FC side.
- 80' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Ryan Raposo on 80 minutes.
- 85' The home supporters are growing impatient. Vancouver Whitecaps FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
