Events

Match Events

0' KICK OFF: Atlanta United FC gets underway.
5' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
10' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Gabriel Heinze will be considering his options from the bench.
15' Over 15 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
20' The 32-year-old Mikey Ambrose has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
25' Johan Kappelhof has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
26' It’s a booking for Chicago Fire FC player. Jonathan Bornstein gets a Yellow card.
27' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for George Bello.
31' Przemyslaw Frankowski picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
34' A goal from the Argentina international Ignacio Aliseda! He fires home on 34 to make it 1-0!
39' Brooks Lennon has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 14 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
44' Tyler Wolff has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
49' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 49 minutes.
51' Ignacio Aliseda with the second goal in the match!
52' Tyler Wolff is having his name booked by the referee on 52.
54' Marcelino Moreno is replacing Jake Mulraney for the Atlanta United FC side.
56' The supporters are chanting for Marcelino Moreno. He replaces Jake Mulraney on 56 minute.
58' What a moment for Przemyslaw Frankowski! That strike on 58 puts his side firmly in control.
63' Supporters expect more eagerness from Alvaro Medran, as he is very good at scoring at Soldier Field with 3 goals in the last 3 games.
68' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Chicago Fire FC winning 100% of all matches.
69' It’s a booking for Atlanta United FC player. Anton Walkes gets a Yellow card.
72' Nnamdi Chinonso Offor is replacing Robert Beric for the Chicago Fire FC side.
75' Another substitution for Atlanta United FC to replace Mo Adams by Mikey Ambrose on 75 minute.
80' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Chicago Fire FC that had 275 games and scored 393 goals.
83' The supporters are chanting for Wyatt Omsberg. He replaces Jonathan Bornstein on 83 minute.
85' Atlanta United FC make a change. George Bello trudges off to be replaced by Ronald Hernandez on 85 minutes.
90' The Chicago Fire FC bench stirs into life. Ignacio Aliseda is withdrawn and Elliot Collier gets his opportunity.
The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Atlanta United FC.
