Events

Match Events

0' In just a few seconds BC Place will turn into a battlefield for Vancouver Whitecaps FC and St. Louis City.
5' The energy levels are beginning to show. Bradley Carnell might look to freshen things up shortly.
10' It looks surprising St. Louis City does not make any changes. Alessandro Schopf has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
15' St. Louis City are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
20' Vancouver Whitecaps FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined St. Louis City backline.
25' Ben Lundt has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
30' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
35' St. Louis City is showing some good football. However, St. Louis City are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
40' Supporters expect more eagerness from Brian White, as he is very good at scoring at BC Place with 38 goals in the last 26 games.
42' Eduard Lowen was booked on 42.
46' A tactical swap from St. Louis City — Aziel Jackson on, Tomas Ostrak off on 46 minutes.
51' Another substitution for Vancouver Whitecaps FC to replace Andres Cubas by Sebastian Berhalter on 51 minute.
56' Ranko Veselinovic, a Serbia , has 17 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
58' Magnificent from Brian White! That is 88 goals in 286 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
63' The supporters are chanting for Klauss. He replaces Samuel Adeniran on 63 minute.
68' With 0 assists to his name this season, Tristan Blackmon is clearly more than just a goal scorer for St. Louis City.
71' It is a substitution in St. Louis City team. Nicholas Gioacchini is replaced by Nokkvi THorisson on 71 minute.
76' 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 Joshua Yaro suffering a number of foals already.
79' It’s a booking for Vancouver Whitecaps FC player. Ryan Gauld gets a card.
79' St. Louis City manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Celio Pompeu is hanging Njabulo Blom on the field on 79 minute.
82' The deadlock is broken! Sebastian Berhalter gets on the scoresheet on 82 minutes.
86' Mathias Laborda gets the nod from Vancouver Whitecaps FC. He replaces Javain Brown and will look to change the dynamic.
Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Vancouver Whitecaps FC players.
