- 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Austin FC and Seattle Sounders FC get this one started.
- 5' Reed Baker-Whiting is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Austin FC so far.
- 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 Nouhou Tolo suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' Alexander Ring has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 15 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 20' With 0 assists to his name this season, Julio Cascante is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Austin FC.
- 25' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 30' It looks surprising Austin FC does not make any changes. Daniel Pereira has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 34' That is a card for Seattle Sounders FC. Yeimar Gomez will be fuming at that decision.
- 39' Over 39 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.

- 51' Austin FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.

- 86' Another change for Austin FC made on 86 minute. Jader Obrian leaves to be changed by CJ Fodrey.
