0' We are underway at . The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
5' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Vancouver Whitecaps FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
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' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
20' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jordon Mutch, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
25' It’s high time Giovanni Savarese made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
30' Doneil Henry has been relatively quiet despite scoring 5 goals in his last 279 appearances.
35' Vancouver Whitecaps FC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 2 of the last 2 meetings.
40' A quiet spell here at . Portland Timbers seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
45' Vancouver Whitecaps FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Portland Timbers's shape.
50' Lawrence Olum has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
55' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
60' 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 Sebastian Blanco suffering a number of foals already.
65' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Craig Dalrymple will be considering his options from the bench.
70' Andres Flores, a El Salvador , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
75' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
80' 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.
85' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Vancouver Whitecaps FC winning 100% of all matches.
90' Julio Cascante has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from Vancouver Whitecaps FC to claim maximum points.
