Events

Match Events

  • 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Charlotte FC to score. At the same time, Columbus Crew SC does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' 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 Patrick Schulte suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' 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.
  • 11' A tactical swap from Columbus Crew SC — Yaw Yeboah on, Will Sands off on 11 minutes.
  • 16' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Charlotte FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 21' Kerwin Vargas has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 16 cards already picked up this season.
  • 26' Milos Degenek is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Charlotte FC tonight.
  • 31' The energy levels are beginning to show. Wilfried Nancy might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 36' Charlotte FC are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against Columbus Crew SC's 3-4-2-1 shape.
  • 37' Karol Swiderski has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 37 minutes.
  • 42' It looks surprising Charlotte FC does not make any changes. Kamil Jozwiak has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 45' Controversy at the stadium! Derrick Jones argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 50' Charlotte FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 55' USA international Aidan Morris has been a key figure this campaign — 2 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 60' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 64' A change in the Columbus Crew SC ranks — Sean Zawadzki exits the field as Darlington Nagbe enters on 64.
  • 69' The crowd applauds Kerwin Vargas as he leaves the pitch. Orrin McKinze Gaines steps in for Charlotte FC.
  • 74' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 75' Columbus Crew SC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 75.
  • 77' Ben Bender gets the nod from Charlotte FC. He replaces Karol Swiderski and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 82' Columbus Crew SC is showing some good football. However, Columbus Crew SC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 87' The whistle greets Kamil Jozwiak as he departs to be replaced by Jaylin Lindsey.
  • 1-0 the final result. Columbus Crew SC will be bitterly disappointed.
