Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. Atlanta United FC host Toronto FC — let the battle begin!
  • 5' Atlanta United FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Aleksei Miranchuk scoring 1 goals.
  • 10' 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 Sebastian Giovinco suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Greg Vanney will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 20' Atlanta United FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Toronto FC's shape.
  • 25' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 30' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 35' Atlanta United FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 40' Toronto FC have won 381 goals from 289 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 45' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Atlanta United FC and Toronto FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 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' With 0 assists to his name this season, Jeff Larentowicz is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Toronto FC.
  • 60' The 32-year-old Miguel Almiron has been sensational this season — 4 goals and 2 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 65' DR Congo international Chris Mavinga has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 70' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Atlanta United FC winning 100% of all matches.
  • 75' Toronto 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.
  • 80' Jozy Altidore has been relatively quiet despite scoring 33 goals in his last 289 appearances.
  • 85' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 90' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
