- 0' The wait is over. Chicago Fire FC get us underway at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
- 5' Brooks Lennon needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 20 Yellow cards this season.
- 10' It looks surprising Atlanta United FC does not make any changes. Georgios Koutsias has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 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 Fabian Herbers suffering a number of foals already.
