Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at . The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' Atlanta United FC have won 428 goals from 283 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 10' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 15' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Atlanta United FC and Portland Timbers are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 20' Jeff Attinella has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 287 appearances.
  • 25' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Portland Timbers that had 287 games and scored 458 goals.
  • 30' Atlanta United FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Portland Timbers backline.
  • 35' Atlanta United FC 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.
  • 40' With 0 assists to his name this season, Andy Polo is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Portland Timbers.
  • 45' Portland Timbers are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 50' 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.
  • 55' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 60' Josef Martinez, a Venezuela , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 65' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 70' Atlanta United FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 70.
  • 75' The travelling Portland Timbers supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 80' Jeremy Ebobisse is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Atlanta United FC tonight.
  • 85' 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 Larrys Mabiala suffering a number of foals already.
  • 90' Diego Valeri has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • The referee brings this contest to a close. Atlanta United FC take all three points.
