12' Brad Guzan is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Philadelphia Union so far.
17' 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.

27' Atlanta United FC have won 454 goals from 303 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
30' Georgios Giakoumakis makes way for Miguel Berry at the 30 minute mark. A tactical switch from Atlanta United FC.
35' It looks surprising Philadelphia Union does not make any changes. Olivier Mbaizo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
40' Brooks Lennon, a USA , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
45' Both keepers have barely been tested. Atlanta United FC and Philadelphia Union are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
48' That looks like a foul for a card for Julian Carranza.
53' It is a cagey affair so far. Atlanta United FC in their 3-4-2-1 trying to find a way past Philadelphia Union's compact 3-4-1-2.
58' Atlanta United FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Philadelphia Union backline.

75' Franco Ibarra was booked on 75.
76' The crowd applauds Jose Martinez as he leaves the pitch. Joaquin Torres steps in for Philadelphia Union.
79' Brooks Lennon does the damage! The net is bulging and Atlanta United FC surge ahead!
84' Philadelphia Union 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.
87' Another substitution for Atlanta United FC to replace Caleb Wiley by Andrew Gutman on 87 minute.
90' Poor challenge from Joaquin Torres. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
That’s it! Another goalless match for Atlanta United FC and Philadelphia Union (для сухой ничьи).
