Events
Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Charlotte FC and Portland Timbers is underway.
- 5' Ashley Westwood needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 10' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Charlotte FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 15' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 20' Poor challenge from Cristhian Paredes. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
- 25' Portland Timbers is showing some good football. However, Portland Timbers are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 30' Supporters expect more eagerness from Eryk Williamson, as he is very good at scoring at Bank of America Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 35' Brecht Dejaegere is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Portland Timbers tonight.
- 36' That looks like a foul for a card for Eryk Williamson.
- 41' Portland Timbers looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Ariel Lassiter scoring 2 goals.
- 43' A tactical swap from Portland Timbers — Dario Zuparic on, Miguel Araujo off on 43 minutes.
- 45' That is a card for Charlotte FC. Iuri Tavares will be fuming at that decision.
- 50' Claudio Bravo has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 54' Assisted by Nathan Byrne with the perfectly-timed delivery and Nikola Petkovic makes no mistake. 1-0!
- 55' The crowd applauds David Ayala as he leaves the pitch. Antony steps in for Portland Timbers.
- 60' Juan Mosquera has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 32 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
- 65' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 70' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 71' Another substitution for Charlotte FC to replace Nikola Petkovic by Brandt Bronico on 71 minute.
- 76' Portland Timbers is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 77' A change in the Charlotte FC ranks — Patrick Agyemang exits the field as Enzo Copetti enters on 77.
- 78' Nathan gets the nod from Portland Timbers. He replaces Claudio Bravo and will look to change the dynamic.
- 82' Andrew Privett has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 82.
- 86' The Charlotte FC bench stirs into life. Brecht Dejaegere is withdrawn and Junior Urso gets his opportunity.
- 90' It’s a booking for Charlotte FC player. Djibril Diani gets a card.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Charlotte FC players.
