0' In just a few seconds BC Place will turn into a battlefield for Vancouver Whitecaps FC and St. Louis City.
5' 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.
10' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
15' 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.
20' Joshua Yaro has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
25' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
30' A quiet spell here at BC Place. St. Louis City seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
35' The travelling St. Louis City supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
40' It looks surprising St. Louis City does not make any changes. Tim Parker has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
42' That is a card for St. Louis City. Eduard Lowen will be fuming at that decision.
46' A tactical swap from St. Louis City — Aziel Jackson on, Tomas Ostrak off on 46 minutes.
51' The Vancouver Whitecaps FC bench stirs into life. Andres Cubas is withdrawn and Sebastian Berhalter gets his opportunity.
56' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Vancouver Whitecaps FC and St. Louis City are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
58' The deadlock is broken! Brian White gets on the scoresheet on 58 minutes.
63' Another change for St. Louis City made on 63 minute. Samuel Adeniran leaves to be changed by Klauss.
68' It is a cagey affair so far. Vancouver Whitecaps FC in their 3-5-2 trying to find a way past St. Louis City's compact 4-2-3-1.
71' A tactical swap from St. Louis City — Nokkvi THorisson on, Nicholas Gioacchini off on 71 minutes.
76' Ali Ahmed has been relatively quiet despite scoring 3 goals in his last 296 appearances.
79' That looks like a foul for a card for Ryan Gauld.
79' St. Louis City make a change. Njabulo Blom trudges off to be replaced by Celio Pompeu on 79 minutes.
82' GOAL! Sebastian Berhalter fires home to make it 2-0!
86' Vancouver Whitecaps FC make a change. Javain Brown trudges off to be replaced by Mathias Laborda on 86 minutes.
