- 10' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 15' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 20' Against the run of play, Miguel Almiron has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 25' 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 Daniel Lovitz suffering a number of foals already.

- 66' Daniel Lovitz makes no mistake. The score reads 1-1 and Nashville SC are in front.
