Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at !
  • 5' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 10' 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 Derrick Etienne suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' Vancouver Whitecaps FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
  • 20' New York Red Bulls come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 25' Sean Davis has been relatively quiet despite scoring 4 goals in his last 302 appearances.
  • 30' Erik Hurtado has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 35' Vancouver Whitecaps FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined New York Red Bulls backline.
  • 40' The 33-year-old Brett Levis has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 45' Felipe Martins is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Vancouver Whitecaps FC so far.
  • 50' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 55' Supporters expect more eagerness from Bradley Wright-Phillips, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 60' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 65' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 70' 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.
  • 75' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Vancouver Whitecaps FC that had 296 games and scored 464 goals.
  • 80' The travelling New York Red Bulls supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 85' Stefan Marinovic needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
