Events
Match Events
- 0' The wait is over. Vancouver Whitecaps FC get us underway at BC Place.
- 3' Brian White has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 3 minutes.
- 8' With 1 assists to his name this season, Santiago Moreno is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
- 10' Kamal Miller was booked on 10.
- 15' Vancouver Whitecaps FC looks like a favorite considering 2 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Thomas Muller scoring 1 goals.
- 20' Ryan Raposo is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Portland Timbers tonight.
- 25' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 30' Sebastian Berhalter is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Vancouver Whitecaps FC so far.
- 35' The 33-year-old Jonathan Rodriguez has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 39' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Alessandro Schopf.
- 43' Jonathan Rodriguez makes no mistake. The score reads 1-1 and Portland Timbers are in front.
- 48' The travelling Portland Timbers supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 53' It’s high time Vanni Sartini made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 58' 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.
- 63' The Vancouver Whitecaps FC bench stirs into life. Levonte Johnson is withdrawn and Edier Ocampo gets his opportunity.
- 68' Eryk Williamson has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 70' Vancouver Whitecaps FC make a change. Alessandro Schopf trudges off to be replaced by Stuart Armstrong on 70 minutes.
- 75' Tristan Blackmon has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 1 cards already picked up this season.
- 80' It is a substitution in Vancouver Whitecaps FC team. Fafa Picault is replaced by Deiber Caicedo on 80 minute.
- 83' It is a substitution in Portland Timbers team. Jonathan Rodriguez is replaced by Eryk Williamson on 83 minute.
- 88' 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.
- 90' Marvin Loria is replacing Santiago Moreno for the Portland Timbers side.
- The final score is 1-1.
