Events

Match Events

  • 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Vancouver Whitecaps FC launch into their encounter with Real Salt Lake.
  • 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Lachlan Brook made 233 appearances and scored 12 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 10' Vancouver Whitecaps FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
  • 15' It looks like no one’s ball. Real Salt Lake is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 20' Against the run of play, Jayden Nelson has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 22' It’s gonna be a card for Braian Ojeda.
  • 27' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 27 minutes.
  • 32' Vancouver Whitecaps FC is showing some good football. However, Vancouver Whitecaps FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 37' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Vancouver Whitecaps FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 42' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 46' A change in the Real Salt Lake ranks — Ariath Piol exits the field as Willy Agada enters on 46.
  • 50' That looks like a foul for a card for Justen Glad.
  • 55' It looks surprising Real Salt Lake does not make any changes. Philip Quinton has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 60' Justen Glad has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 42 cards already picked up this season.
  • 62' The referee calls foul for Diego Luna. He receives a card.
  • 62' The whistle greets Jayden Nelson as he departs to be replaced by Ali Ahmed.
  • 63' Vancouver Whitecaps FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Sebastian Berhalter is hanging Ralph Priso-Mbongue on the field on 63 minute.
  • 64' A moment of madness from Daniel Rios on 64 minutes earns him a card. Vancouver Whitecaps FC will be frustrated.
  • 69' 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 Yohei Takaoka suffering a number of foals already.
  • 70' Magnificent from Tristan Blackmon! That is 10 goals in 289 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 72' Noel Caliskan has so much to prove this time. He replaces Alexandros Katranis on 72 minute.
  • 77' Emmanuel Sabbi has so much to prove this time. He replaces Daniel Rios on 77 minute.
  • 78' A tactical swap from Real Salt Lake — Lachlan Brook on, Diogo Goncalves off on 78 minutes.
  • 83' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Real Salt Lake needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 87' A tactical swap from Real Salt Lake — Nelson Palacio on, Philip Quinton off on 87 minutes.
  • 90' Another substitution for Vancouver Whitecaps FC to replace Jean-Claude Ngando by Jeevan Badwal on 90 minute.
  • The points are shared — Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2-1 Real Salt Lake. Honours even.
