0' The wait is over. Portland Timbers get us underway at BC Place.
3' What a strike from Brian White! The score is 1-0.
8' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Portland Timbers that had 307 games and scored 498 goals.
10' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Kamal Miller.
15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
20' Both keepers have barely been tested. Vancouver Whitecaps FC and Portland Timbers are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
25' Vancouver Whitecaps FC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 2 of the last 2 meetings.
30' 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.
35' Kamal Miller is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Vancouver Whitecaps FC so far.
39' Poor challenge from Alessandro Schopf. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
43' A stunning finish from Jonathan Rodriguez — that came from absolutely nowhere!
48' Vancouver Whitecaps FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Portland Timbers's shape.
53' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
58' A quiet spell here at BC Place. Vancouver Whitecaps FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
63' Vancouver Whitecaps FC make a change. Levonte Johnson trudges off to be replaced by Edier Ocampo on 63 minutes.
68' It is a cagey affair so far. Vancouver Whitecaps FC in their trying to find a way past Portland Timbers's compact .
70' A change in the Vancouver Whitecaps FC ranks — Alessandro Schopf exits the field as Stuart Armstrong enters on 70.
75' 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 Miguel Araujo suffering a number of foals already.
80' Fresh legs for Vancouver Whitecaps FC! Deiber Caicedo comes on to replace Fafa Picault.
83' Eryk Williamson is replacing Jonathan Rodriguez for the Portland Timbers side.
88' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
90' Marvin Loria has so much to prove this time. He replaces Santiago Moreno on 90 minute.
1-1 the final result. will be bitterly disappointed.
