Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Chicago Fire FC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' With 5 assists to his name this season, Philip Zinckernagel is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Toronto FC.
  • 10' Chicago Fire FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
  • 15' Sean Johnson needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 20' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 21' The referee has no hesitation. Philip Zinckernagel is booked for Chicago Fire FC — card on 21.
  • 26' 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.
  • 28' A stunning finish from Jack Elliott — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 33' Djordje Mihailovic has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 28 cards already picked up this season.
  • 38' 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 Sergio Oregel suffering a number of foals already.

  • 71' Jack Elliott doubles the advantage! 2-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
