- 14' Gonzalo Martinez makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and Atlanta United FC are in front.
- 19' With 0 assists to his name this season, Robin Jansson is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Orlando City SC.
- 24' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. James O'Connor will be considering his options from the bench.
- 29' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 34' 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.
- 39' Atlanta United FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Orlando City SC backline.
- 44' Both keepers have barely been tested. Atlanta United FC and Orlando City SC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 49' Josef Martinez has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 54' Jhegson Mendez has been relatively quiet despite scoring 1 goals in his last 286 appearances.
- 58' Kyle Smith has so much to prove this time. He replaces Alex De John on 58 minute.
- 63' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Orlando City SC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 64' The Orlando City SC manager makes a substitution. Dom Dwyer departs to be replaced by Christopher Mueller.

- 84' Hector Villalba makes way for Brek Shea at the 84 minute mark. A tactical switch from Atlanta United FC.
- 89' 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 Eric Remedi suffering a number of foals already.
- 90' That is a Yellow card for Orlando City SC. Robin Jansson will be fuming at that decision.
- 90' A change in the Atlanta United FC ranks — Julian Gressel exits the field as Justin Meram enters on 90.
