Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Dick's Sporting Goods Park. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' It looks surprising FC Cincinnati does not make any changes. Lalas Abubakar has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 10' The travelling FC Cincinnati supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 15' Keegan Rosenberry has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 11 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
- 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Colorado Rapids SC that had 268 games and scored 391 goals.
- 25' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 30' It looks like no one’s ball. Colorado Rapids SC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 33' Dominique Badji puts FC Cincinnati on the lead.
- 34' Goal! Dominique Badji scores his 32 goal in 277 matches.
- 39' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.

- 46' Another change for Colorado Rapids SC made on 46 minute. Calvin Harris leaves to be changed by Yosuke Hanya.
- 51' Colorado Rapids SC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 51.
- 56' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Obinna Nwobodo made 46 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 61' 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 William Yarbrough suffering a number of foals already.
- 62' Kevin Cabral is having his name booked by the referee on 62.
