Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Austin FC gets underway.
- 5' Austin FC are deployed in a 4-4-2 today, looking to exploit space against St. Louis City's 3-4-2-1 shape.
- 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 Lukas MacNaughton suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' The travelling St. Louis City supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 20' Supporters expect more eagerness from Myrto Uzuni, as he is very good at scoring at Q2 Stadium with 6 goals in the last 6 games.
- 25' Austin FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 25.
- 30' With 4 assists to his name this season, Tomas Totland is clearly more than just a goal scorer for St. Louis City.
- 35' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Austin FC and St. Louis City are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 36' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Guilherme Biro on 36 minutes.
- 41' The energy levels are beginning to show. Yoann Damet might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 46' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Yoann Damet will be considering his options from the bench.
- 51' A moment of madness from Timo Baumgartl on 51 minutes earns him a card. St. Louis City will be frustrated.
- 56' St. Louis City come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 61' Miguel Perez has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 128 appearances.
- 66' Jon Gallagher has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 27 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 68' St. Louis City receives a card for a hard tackle on 68.
- 69' Magnificent from Christian Ramirez! That is 69 goals in 298 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 74' 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.
- 79' named a 4-4-2 earlier, and opted for a 3-4-2-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 81' Against the run of play, Myrto Uzuni has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 86' USA international Brad Stuver has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 87' Brendan Hines-Ike was booked on 87.
- 90' That looks like a foul for a card for Brendan McSorley.
- 2-0 the final result. St. Louis City will be bitterly disappointed.
