Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds BC Place will turn into a battlefield for Vancouver Whitecaps FC and New York City FC.
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering New York City FC that had 286 games and scored 454 goals.
  • 10' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 20' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
  • 25' It’s high time Jesper Sørensen made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Brian White made 283 appearances and scored 88 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 35' Tayvon Gray has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 15 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 40' Aiden O'Neill needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 44' What a strike from Mathias Laborda! The score is 1-0.
  • 49' The travelling New York City FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 53' Andres Cubas was booked on 53.
  • 58' It looks surprising New York City FC does not make any changes. Sebastian Berhalter has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 63' Vancouver Whitecaps FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Bruno Caicedo is hanging Cheikh Sabaly on the field on 63 minute.
  • 68' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Vancouver Whitecaps FC winning 100% of all matches.
  • 73' Vancouver Whitecaps FC is showing some good football. However, Vancouver Whitecaps FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 77' The Vancouver Whitecaps FC manager makes a substitution. Sebastian Berhalter departs to be replaced by Oliver Larraz.
  • 80' That looks like a foul for a card for Oliver Larraz.
  • 85' 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.
  • 86' GOAL! Brian White scores on 86. Assisted by Bruno Caicedo
  • 88' Arnau Farnos has so much to prove this time. He replaces Aiden O'Neill on 88 minute.
  • 90' The Vancouver Whitecaps FC manager makes a substitution. Brian White departs to be replaced by Rayan Elloumi.
  • Full Time. Vancouver Whitecaps FC beats New York City FC
