Events
Match Events
- 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Atlanta United FC and Toronto FC has kicked off!
- 5' Atlanta United FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Toronto FC's shape.
- 10' Atlanta United FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Aleksei Miranchuk scoring 1 goals.
- 15' What a moment for Luiz Araujo! That strike on 15 puts his side firmly in control.
- 17' Nick DeLeon was booked on 17.
- 22' Toronto FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 27' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 32' Over 32 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 37' 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 George Bello suffering a number of foals already.
- 42' Ezequiel Barco has been relatively quiet despite scoring 44 goals in his last 292 appearances.
- 46' Toronto FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Jordan Perruzza is hanging Jozy Altidore on the field on 46 minute.

- 56' Ezequiel Barco was booked on 56.
- 61' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 66' It looks surprising Toronto FC does not make any changes. Nick DeLeon has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 69' Poor challenge from Kemar Lawrence. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 74' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Gonzalo Pineda will be considering his options from the bench.
- 77' Toronto FC make a change. Nick DeLeon trudges off to be replaced by Jacob Shaffelburg on 77 minutes.
- 78' The whistle greets Patrick Mullins as he departs to be replaced by Dominic Dwyer.
- 83' With 0 assists to his name this season, Brooks Lennon is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Atlanta United FC.
- 88' The deadlock is broken! Jordan Perruzza gets on the scoresheet on 88 minutes.
- 89' A stunning finish from Jordan Perruzza — that came from absolutely nowhere!
