Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Real Salt Lake gets underway.
- 5' Bode Davis is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Vancouver Whitecaps FC tonight.
- 10' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Vancouver Whitecaps FC and Real Salt Lake are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 15' With 0 assists to his name this season, Brian White is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
- 20' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 25' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.
- 30' Vancouver Whitecaps FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 30.
- 33' What a moment for Damir Kreilach! That strike on 33 puts his side firmly in control.
- 38' It looks like no one’s ball. Vancouver Whitecaps FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 43' 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 Tristan Blackmon suffering a number of foals already.
- 47' Alexandros Katranis is having his name booked by the referee on 47.
- 52' 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.

- 74' Fresh legs for Vancouver Whitecaps FC! Levonte Johnson comes on to replace Damir Kreilach.
- 76' What a moment for Alexandros Katranis! That strike on 76 puts his side firmly in control.
- 81' The energy levels are beginning to show. Vanni Sartini might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 84' The supporters are chanting for Maikel Chang. He replaces Anderson Julio on 84 minute.
- 85' The supporters are chanting for Bryan Oviedo. He replaces Alexandros Katranis on 85 minute.
- 86' The crowd applauds Bode Davis as he leaves the pitch. Matt Crooks steps in for Real Salt Lake.
- 90' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Brayan Vera.
- 90' A tactical swap from Real Salt Lake — Nelson Palacio on, Fidel Barajas off on 90 minutes.
- The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
