Min 0: Chivas opens up with a 4-2-4 E while the Canadians will play a 4-2-4 L.
Min 0: Today's referee is Al Sellers (STRONG/STRICT).
Min 5: Sammie finds some space in the middle of the pitch...
        ...hits an audacious 30-yard shot...
        ...Bramble Bush palms the shot onto the bar...
        ...it spins back to Ben Doak who heads the ball...
        ...and it is collected by Bramble Bush for the save.
Min 10: Sam Knot (CHV) surges forward with a weaving run...
        ...but Dexter (VAN) brings it to an end with a well-timed tackle on the edge of the box.
Min 11: Cheeky back heel from Alex Lifeson to release Sammie in the box...
        ...but the American is correctly ruled to have been off-side. 
Min 14: Sammie weaves his way through the Chivas defense......
        ...he checks the keeper's position...
        ...he'll take a chance on his own and ignore assistance from his flank......
        ...and the shot falls harmlessly into the arms of Bramble Bush!?
Min 25: With Chivas so far forward a rare Vancouver break sees Lewis Ferguson play a long diagonal pass for Ben Doak...
        ...he has acres of space but has wandered off-side. 
Min 27: Frank Twigg (CHV) passes a great ball to Sam Knot...
        ...whose low shot across goal is parried by Canadians keeper M Sliwinski...
        ...who then falls on it for the save.
Min 29: Adam Deciduous (CHV) hooks the ball away from Alex Lifeson...
        ...and Bryan Seed dives in...
        ...and heads down but M Sliwinski was there for the save!
Min 34: Adam Deciduous (CHV) swings a ball in to the Vancouver box...
        ...but the presence of Dexter (VAN) means it is easily cleared.
Min 36: Flash Foxglove (CHV) breaks away and charges into the penalty area...
        ...a little shuffle of the feet...
        ...and his shot is parried away by M Sliwinski--superb save!
Min 40: Chivas build down the left...
        ...Alphonse Oak sends a cross to the middle...
        ...Sam Knot beats Alex Lifeson to the ball...
        ...and hooks a left-footer right at M Sliwinski who catches the ball.
Min 40: The Ref pulls Flash Foxglove (CHV) up for spitting? Surely he can't be serious??
Min 41: Sammie (VAN) in space inside the area...
        ...he slices his shot but it finds Ben Doak...
        ...who simply sidefoots home GOAL!...
        ...it's a lead that Mark Creasey's side deserve - can they add to it before the break?...
        ...score now: CHV 0 - VAN 1
Min 44: The ball is played back towards the box by Adam Deciduous (CHV)...
        ...Alex Lifeson heads out...
        ...only for Sam Knot to try and audacious first time volley...
        ...which M Sliwinski has to push over the top.
Min 45: Sam Knot (CHV) takes the ball into the Canadians half...
        ...chips a great ball over three defenders to find Frank Twigg...
        ...who slips it past M Sliwinski. GOAL!...
        ...great response from Chivas...
        ...score now: CHV 1 - VAN 1
Min 45: Adam Root on for Frank Twigg(FW)...
        ...Adam Root will play FW.
Min 45: Billy Gilmour on for Peter Capaldi(WG)...
        ...Billy Gilmour will play DF.

        ...and plays it left to Sam Knot in midfield...
        ...Alphonse Oak continues his run through the defense...
        ...and gets the return ball from Sam Knot...
        ...Alphonse Oak rounds M Sliwinski and somehow misses the target!
Min 53: Adam Root (CHV) leaves half the Vancouver side in his wake...
        ...as he takes the ball from the half-way line...
        ...surges past Alex Lifeson...
        ...but M Sliwinski is there to stop his weak shot.

Min 79: Now the ball comes to Adam Root (CHV)...
        ...Adam Deciduous has space on the left and Adam Root tries to play him in...
        ...only for Dexter (VAN) to stick out a boot and just intercept.
Min 85: Garry Stump (CHV) rides a challenge in midfield...
        ...flicks the ball through the Vancouver defense to Sam Knot...
        ...who races towards goal...
        ...M Sliwinski rushes off his line and Sam Knot slots the ball around him...
        ...off the post and into the net. GOAL!!!!...
        ...what an amazing goal!  Just a few minutes from stoppage time now...
        ...score now: CHV 2 - VAN 1
Min 89: Trevor Rowan (CHV) seizes on a horrible clearance from the American keeper...
        ...finds Barry Cherry busting into the box...
        ...who shoots...
