Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at . Ninety minutes of football awaits between Atlanta United FC and Philadelphia Union.
  • 5' Philadelphia Union looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Milan Iloski scoring 1 goals.
  • 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Philadelphia Union that had 305 games and scored 521 goals.
  • 15' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 20' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Gerardo Martino will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 25' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.
  • 30' Atlanta United FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 35' The energy levels are beginning to show. Jim Curtin might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 40' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 45' Philadelphia Union is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 50' 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 Josef Martinez suffering a number of foals already.
  • 55' Atlanta United FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Philadelphia Union's shape.
  • 60' Ilsinho, a Brazil , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 65' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Atlanta United FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 70' Andre Blake has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 75' Both keepers have barely been tested. Atlanta United FC and Philadelphia Union are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 80' With 0 assists to his name this season, Haris Medunjanin is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Atlanta United FC.
  • 85' Philadelphia Union has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 2 meetings.
  • 90' Atlanta United FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Philadelphia Union backline.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 3-1.
