Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Columbus Crew SC gets underway.
  • 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Harrison Afful made 284 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 10' It looks surprising Austin FC does not make any changes. Kevin Molino has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 15' Columbus Crew SC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 20' 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.
  • 25' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 30' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 35' Harrison Afful was booked on 35.
  • 40' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 45' 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 Matt Besler suffering a number of foals already.
  • 46' Another substitution for Columbus Crew SC to replace Liam Fraser by Marlon Hairston on 46 minute.
  • 51' Columbus Crew SC 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.
  • 55' Columbus Crew SC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Derrick Etienne is hanging Kevin Molino on the field on 55 minute.
  • 60' It is a substitution in Austin FC team. Jared Stroud is replaced by Kekuta Manneh on 60 minute.
  • 65' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Austin FC that had 188 games and scored 263 goals.
  • 70' It looks like no one’s ball. Austin FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 75' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 75 minutes.
  • 80' Jon Gallagher has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 14 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 85' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 90' 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.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-0.
