Events

Match Events

  • 5' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 10' Toronto FC have won 385 goals from 293 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 14' The referee shows Toronto FC player a card on 14.
  • 19' Both keepers have barely been tested. Chicago Fire FC and Toronto FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 22' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Robin Lod makes no mistake. 1-0!
  • 27' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Toronto FC that had 293 games and scored 385 goals.
  • 32' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 32 minutes.
  • 34' What composure from Josh Sargent! The USA international strokes it home. 1-1.
  • 39' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Chicago Fire FC and Toronto FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 40' Hugo Cuypers was booked on 40.
  • 45' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 50' It looks surprising Chicago Fire FC does not make any changes. Nicksoen Gomis has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 55' Spain international Alonso Coello Camarero has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 3 assists in the Array this season.
  • 60' Andrew Gutman has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 60.
  • 65' Andrew Gutman makes no mistake. The score reads 2-1 and Chicago Fire FC are in front.
  • 70' 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.
  • 75' A quiet spell here at Soldier Field. Toronto FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 79' It’s gonna be a card for Walker Zimmerman.
  • 84' Anton Saletros has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 4 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 87' It’s gonna be a card for Anton Saletros.
  • 90' A meaty challenge results in booking for Theo Corbeanu on 90.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Toronto FC.
