Events

Match Events

0' KICK OFF: Sporting Kansas City gets underway.
5' Vancouver Whitecaps FC have won 438 goals from 283 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
10' It looks surprising Vancouver Whitecaps FC does not make any changes. Javain Brown has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
15' 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.
20' Vancouver Whitecaps FC looks like a favorite considering 2 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Thomas Muller scoring 2 goals.
25' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Vancouver Whitecaps FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
30' Sporting Kansas City are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
35' Both keepers have barely been tested. Vancouver Whitecaps FC and Sporting Kansas City are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
37' Poor challenge from Russell Teibert. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
38' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Russell Teibert on 38 minutes.
43' The 39-year-old Roger Espinoza has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
45' Poor challenge from Sebastian Berhalter. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
46' Roger Espinoza gets the nod from Sporting Kansas City. He replaces Oriol Rosell and will look to change the dynamic.
51' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
56' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sporting Kansas City that had 289 games and scored 440 goals.
58' Fresh legs for Vancouver Whitecaps FC! Lucas Cavallini comes on to replace Brian White.
60' That is a Yellow card for Vancouver Whitecaps FC. Ryan Gauld will be fuming at that decision.
65' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
69' Michael Baldisimo is replacing Sebastian Berhalter for the Vancouver Whitecaps FC side.
71' The Vancouver Whitecaps FC manager makes a substitution. Sebastian Berhalter departs to be replaced by Michael Baldisimo.
73' A stunning finish from Ryan Raposo — that came from absolutely nowhere!
77' Cameron Duke gets the nod from Sporting Kansas City. He replaces Johnny Russell and will look to change the dynamic.
79' A tactical swap from Vancouver Whitecaps FC — Marcus Godinho on, Ryan Raposo off on 79 minutes.
80' Nikola Vujnovic is replacing Khiry Shelton for the Sporting Kansas City side.
81' Sporting Kansas City ring the changes. Khiry Shelton has done his job and it is now time for Nikola Vujnovic to step up.
86' The energy levels are beginning to show. Peter Vermes might look to freshen things up shortly.
90' The referee has no hesitation. Marcus Godinho is booked for Vancouver Whitecaps FC — Yellow card on 90.
It finishes all square. Vancouver Whitecaps FC and Sporting Kansas City share the spoils 1-0.
