Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. FC Cincinnati get us underway at Bank of America Stadium.
  • 5' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Dean Smith will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 10' Charlotte FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
  • 15' Over 15 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 20' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 25' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 30' It looks like no one’s ball. Charlotte FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 35' Charlotte FC have won 226 goals from 154 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 40' Patrick Agyemang has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 45' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Cincinnati that had 248 games and scored 361 goals.
  • 46' Ian Murphy is ready to make an impact after coming on for Nick Hagglund at the 46 minute mark.
  • 51' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Pavel Bucha made 166 appearances and scored 11 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 56' Matt Miazga, a USA , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 60' Djibril Diani makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and Charlotte FC are in front.
  • 61' Fresh legs for FC Cincinnati! Obinna Nwobodo comes on to replace Corey Baird.
  • 65' That is a card for FC Cincinnati. Ian Murphy will be fuming at that decision.
  • 70' A quiet spell here at Bank of America Stadium. Charlotte FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 72' Poor challenge from Brecht Dejaegere. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 74' Another substitution for Charlotte FC to replace Brecht Dejaegere by Junior Urso on 74 minute.
  • 75' The Charlotte FC bench stirs into life. Patrick Agyemang is withdrawn and Enzo Copetti gets his opportunity.
  • 80' Jere Uronen has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 12 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 82' The FC Cincinnati bench stirs into life. Yuya Kubo is withdrawn and Sergio Santos gets his opportunity.
  • 87' The energy levels are beginning to show. Dean Smith might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 88' Aaron Boupendza has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 88.
  • 89' It is a substitution in FC Cincinnati team. Pavel Bucha is replaced by Gerardo Valenzuela on 89 minute.
  • 90' Kerwin Vargas picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 90' It is a substitution in Charlotte FC team. Kerwin Vargas is replaced by Brandt Bronico on 90 minute.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
