  • 5' Felipe Mora has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 5 minutes.
  • 8' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Cristian Gutierrez.
  • 13' The energy levels are beginning to show. Giovanni Savarese might look to freshen things up shortly.

  • 33' Vancouver Whitecaps FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 33.
  • 38' 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 Cristian Gutierrez suffering a number of foals already.

  • 64' Time for substitution for Vancouver Whitecaps FC. Cristian Gutierrez is replaced by David Milinkovic.
  • 69' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.

  • 87' 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.
