Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Colorado Rapids SC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Philadelphia Union is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 10' It looks surprising Colorado Rapids SC does not make any changes. Moise Bombito has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 15' Colorado Rapids SC 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.
- 18' A meaty challenge results in booking for Danny Wilson on 18.
- 21' It’s a booking for Philadelphia Union player. Alejandro Bedoya gets a Yellow card.
- 26' Alejandro Bedoya has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 15 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 31' Supporters expect more eagerness from Damion Lowe, as he is very good at scoring at Dick's Sporting Goods Park with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 36' 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.
- 38' GOAL! Connor Ronan scores on 38.
- 41' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Leon Flach.
- 42' Lalas Abubakar was booked on 42.
- 47' What an equalizer from Kai Wagner!
- 52' Julian Carranza puts Philadelphia Union on the lead.
- 57' Colorado Rapids SC is showing some good football. However, Colorado Rapids SC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 58' Braian Galvan is replacing Anthony Markanich for the Colorado Rapids SC side.
- 59' The whistle greets Anthony Markanich as he departs to be replaced by Braian Galvan.
- 62' Colorado Rapids SC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 62.
- 67' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 72' Bryan Acosta is replacing Lalas Abubakar for the Colorado Rapids SC side.
- 77' 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 Anthony Markanich suffering a number of foals already.
- 79' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Sam Nicholson.
- 81' Time for substitution for Colorado Rapids SC. Danny Leyva is replaced by Moise Bombito.
- 83' Another substitution for Philadelphia Union to replace Jack McGlynn by Matthew Real on 83 minute.
- 88' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Colorado Rapids SC that had 272 games and scored 394 goals.
- 90' Jesus Bueno has so much to prove this time. He replaces Alejandro Bedoya on 90 minute.
- 90' Colorado Rapids SC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Colorado Rapids SC.
