Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Q2 Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Austin FC and Nashville SC.

- 15' David Romney has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.

- 25' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 30' 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 Brian Anunga suffering a number of foals already.
- 35' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Austin FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.

- 70' The whistle greets Jacob Shaffelburg as he departs to be replaced by Alex Muyl.

- 84' The 31-year-old Nick Lima has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
