Events
Match Events
- 0' That's the starting whistle at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Atlanta United FC and Internacional CF Miami.
- 5' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Gonzalo Pineda will be considering his options from the bench.
- 10' The 36-year-old Kelvin Leerdam has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 15' A quiet spell here at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Atlanta United FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 20' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 24' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Leandro Gonzalez Pirez on 24 minutes.
- 29' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ronald Hernandez made 8 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 34' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Blaise Matuidi.
- 39' Alan Franco is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Atlanta United FC tonight.
- 44' Internacional CF Miami are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 46' Matheus Rossetto gets the nod from Atlanta United FC. He replaces Marcelino Moreno and will look to change the dynamic.
- 48' Kieran Gibbs catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 48.
- 53' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 58' Leandro Gonzalez Pirez needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 63' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 67' Jake Mulraney is ready to make an impact after coming on for Anton Walkes at the 67 minute mark.
- 72' Fresh legs for Internacional CF Miami! Brek Shea comes on to replace Kieran Gibbs.
- 77' 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 Anton Walkes suffering a number of foals already.
- 78' Against the run of play, Josef Martinez has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 82' It is a substitution in Atlanta United FC team. Luiz Araujo is replaced by George Campbell on 82 minute.
- 83' Another change for Internacional CF Miami made on 83 minute. Blaise Matuidi leaves to be changed by Indiana Vassilev.
- 88' It looks surprising Internacional CF Miami does not make any changes. Brooks Lennon has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 89' Jay Chapman has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 89.
- 90' Ronald Hernandez is replacing Josef Martinez for the Atlanta United FC side.
- The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from Atlanta United FC to claim maximum points.
