Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Real Salt Lake gets underway.
- 5' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Josh Wolff will be considering his options from the bench.
- 10' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 15' Real Salt Lake 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.
- 20' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 25' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 30' Real Salt Lake started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 30.
- 35' Emeka Eneli is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Austin FC so far.
- 40' Dominik Marczuk has been relatively quiet despite scoring 2 goals in his last 283 appearances.
- 45' A quiet spell here at Q2 Stadium. Real Salt Lake seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 48' Matt Crooks adds to his 0 season tally! Real Salt Lake lead 0-1 — and this changes everything.
- 53' Owen Wolff is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Real Salt Lake tonight.
- 58' 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 Diego Luna suffering a number of foals already.
- 59' Justen Glad has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 59.
- 61' The Real Salt Lake manager makes a substitution. Diego Luna departs to be replaced by Diogo Goncalves.
- 65' GOAL! Diogo Goncalves fires home to make it 0-2!
- 66' Daniel Pereira has so much to prove this time. He replaces Owen Wolff on 66 minute.
- 71' Supporters expect more eagerness from Guilherme Biro, as he is very good at scoring at Q2 Stadium with 5 goals in the last 5 games.
- 76' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 78' The crowd applauds Mikkel Desler as he leaves the pitch. Ethan Finlay steps in for Austin FC.
- 81' GOAL! Jader Obrian fires home to make it 1-2!
- 86' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Osman Bukari made 8 appearances and scored 17 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 88' Another change for Austin FC made on 88 minute. Alexander Ring leaves to be changed by Jhojan Valencia.
- 89' A stunning finish from Guilherme Biro — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 90' Maikel Chang has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 90.
- 90' The Real Salt Lake bench stirs into life. Emeka Eneli is withdrawn and Nelson Palacio gets his opportunity.
- The points are shared — Austin FC 2-2 Real Salt Lake. Honours even.
