Events

Match Events

  • 0' And we are off! Atlanta United FC vs San Jose Earthquakes — let the football do the talking.
  • 5' 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.
  • 10' Atlanta United FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 12' Jeremy Ebobisse puts San Jose Earthquakes on the lead.
  • 13' A stunning finish from Jeremy Ebobisse — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 13' Carlos Gruezo is having his name booked by the referee on 13.
  • 18' It’s high time Luchi Gonzalez made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 19' It’s a booking for San Jose Earthquakes player. Carlos Gruezo gets a Yellow card.
  • 24' The 33-year-old Carlos Akapo has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 29' 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 Franco Ibarra suffering a number of foals already.
  • 34' It looks like no one’s ball. Atlanta United FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 39' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 39 minutes.
  • 44' Andrew Gutman has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 25 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 49' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 54' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Luchi Gonzalez will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 56' A change in the Atlanta United FC ranks — Caleb Wiley exits the field as Derrick Etienne enters on 56.
  • 60' San Jose Earthquakes make a change. Paul Marie trudges off to be replaced by Carlos Akapo on 60 minutes.
  • 61' Carlos Akapo has so much to prove this time. He replaces Paul Marie on 61 minute.
  • 66' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Atlanta United FC and San Jose Earthquakes are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 69' Benjamin Kikanovic has so much to prove this time. He replaces Cade Cowell on 69 minute.
  • 74' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering San Jose Earthquakes that had 290 games and scored 436 goals.
  • 79' Atlanta United FC is showing some good football. However, Atlanta United FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 80' Atlanta United FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Amar Sejdic is hanging Matheus Rossetto on the field on 80 minute.
  • 85' Miguel Trauco makes way for Tanner Beason at the 85 minute mark. A tactical switch from San Jose Earthquakes.
  • 90' It’s a booking for Atlanta United FC player. Franco Ibarra gets a Yellow card.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-1.
