Events

Match Events

0' And we are off! Chicago Fire FC vs Toronto FC — let the football do the talking.
5' It looks surprising Chicago Fire FC does not make any changes. Aime Mabika has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
10' Both keepers have barely been tested. Chicago Fire FC and Toronto FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
15' Matt Hedges needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
20' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
25' Toronto FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
30' Chicago Fire FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
35' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
40' Chicago Fire FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Robin Lod scoring 1 goals.
45' Georgios Koutsias is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Toronto FC so far.
46' Kei Kamara has so much to prove this time. He replaces Georgios Koutsias on 46 minute.
51' Kobe Franklin has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 2 goals to his name this season.
52' A change in the Toronto FC ranks — Deandre Kerr exits the field as Alonso Coello Camarero enters on 52.
55' That is a card for Toronto FC. Raoul Petretta will be fuming at that decision.
60' Chicago Fire FC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
63' A change in the Toronto FC ranks — Sigurd Rosted exits the field as Matt Hedges enters on 63.
68' Brandon Servania is replacing Shane O'Neill for the Toronto FC side.
69' Chicago Fire FC ring the changes. Raoul Petretta has done his job and it is now time for Ian Torres to step up.
72' Carlos Teran gets the nod from Chicago Fire FC. He replaces Fabian Herbers and will look to change the dynamic.
76' Poor challenge from Rafael Czichos. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
80' The whistle greets Gaston Gimenez as he departs to be replaced by Arnaud Souquet.
85' 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 Mauricio Pineda suffering a number of foals already.
89' Fresh legs for Chicago Fire FC! Kacper Przybylko comes on to replace Jonathan Dean.
90' Kacper Przybylko makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and Chicago Fire FC are in front.
The final score is 1-0.
