Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at Soldier Field. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Chicago Fire FC and Philadelphia Union.
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Chicago Fire FC that had 278 games and scored 398 goals.
  • 10' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 15' Over 15 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 20' 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 Jack Elliott suffering a number of foals already.
  • 25' It looks like no one’s ball. Chicago Fire FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 29' Jose Andres Martinez has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 29.

  • 51' It’s a booking for Chicago Fire FC player. Carlos Teran gets a Yellow card.
  • 56' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 61' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 65' The supporters are chanting for Jonathan Bornstein. He replaces Andre Reynolds II on 65 minute.
  • 66' Chris Donovan has so much to prove this time. He replaces Mikael Uhre on 66 minute.
  • 68' GOAL! Federico Navarro fires home to make it 1-0!
  • 73' The referee has no hesitation. Jose Andres Martinez is booked for Philadelphia Union — Red card on 73.
