Events

Match Events

0' The game is set. Philadelphia Union kicks off things out of here…
5' A quiet spell here at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Philadelphia Union seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
10' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
15' Cory Burke is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Atlanta United FC so far.
20' Andre Blake has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 289 appearances.
25' Philadelphia Union looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Milan Iloski scoring 1 goals.
30' Alejandro Bedoya catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 30.
35' 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.
40' The home supporters are growing impatient. Atlanta United FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
41' Leon Flach is having his name booked by the referee on 41.
46' Fresh legs for Philadelphia Union! Cory Burke comes on to replace Sergio Santos.
51' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
53' A moment of madness from Anthony Fontana on 53 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Philadelphia Union will be frustrated.
58' The Poland Kacper Przybylko breaks the deadlock on 58 minutes. 1-0!
60' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Jakob Glesnes.
65' It looks surprising Atlanta United FC does not make any changes. Jamiro Monteiro has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
69' The Philadelphia Union bench stirs into life. Anthony Fontana is withdrawn and Jack McGlynn gets his opportunity.
70' Alan Franco is ready to make an impact after coming on for Franco Ibarra at the 70 minute mark.
75' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 75 minutes.
76' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Erik Lopez.
81' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Atlanta United FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
82' Jake Mulraney is ready to make an impact after coming on for Erik Lopez at the 82 minute mark.
83' A goal from the England international Anton Walkes! He fires home on 83 to make it 2-0!
88' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Philadelphia Union that had 289 games and scored 484 goals.
will have plenty to reflect on. were simply the better side today.
