Events
Match Events
- 0' Three points are at stake. Atlanta United FC host Montreal Impact FC — let the battle begin!
- 5' Kamal Miller has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 32 cards already picked up this season.
- 10' Atlanta United 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.
- 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 Clement Diop suffering a number of foals already.
- 17' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Santiago Sosa on 17 minutes.
- 19' A moment of madness from Rudy Camacho on 19 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Montreal Impact FC will be frustrated.
- 24' Montreal Impact FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 29' A meaty challenge results in booking for Victor Wanyama on 29.
- 34' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Montreal Impact FC that had 283 games and scored 379 goals.
- 39' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 44' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Montreal Impact FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 46' Another change for Atlanta United FC made on 46 minute. Alan Franco leaves to be changed by Anton Walkes.
- 51' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 56' Brad Guzan is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Atlanta United FC so far.
- 61' A quiet spell here at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Atlanta United FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 65' Another change for Montreal Impact FC made on 65 minute. Bjorn Maars Johnsen leaves to be changed by Ahmed Hamdi.
- 70' Lassi Lappalainen makes way for Zorhan Bassong at the 70 minute mark. A tactical switch from Montreal Impact FC.
- 72' Time for substitution for Montreal Impact FC. Romell Quioto is replaced by Erik Hurtado.

- 79' Mathieu Choiniere makes way for Mustafa Kizza at the 79 minute mark. A tactical switch from Montreal Impact FC.
- 84' Montreal Impact FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Matthew Longstaff scoring 1 goals.
- 89' Atlanta United FC have won 433 goals from 287 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 90' The referee calls foul for Aljaz Struna. He receives a Yellow card.
- Montreal Impact FC will have plenty to reflect on. Atlanta United FC were simply the better side today.
