Match Events

0' Chicago Fire FC have kicked off against Montreal Impact FC. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
5' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Veljko Paunovic will be considering his options from the bench.
10' Chicago Fire FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Montreal Impact FC backline.
15' Anthony Jackson-Hamel has been relatively quiet despite scoring 7 goals in his last 288 appearances.
20' The home supporters are growing impatient. Chicago Fire FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
25' It looks surprising Montreal Impact FC does not make any changes. Raheem Edwards has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
30' Chicago Fire FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
35' Chicago Fire FC looks like a favorite considering 2 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Philip Zinckernagel scoring 1 goals.
40' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
45' Chicago Fire FC have won 406 goals from 283 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
50' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
55' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
60' 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 Richard Sanchez suffering a number of foals already.
65' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
70' Chicago Fire FC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 2 of the last 2 meetings.
75' Chicago Fire FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
80' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
85' 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.
90' Over 90 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Chicago Fire FC players.
