Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Real Salt Lake gets underway.
  • 5' Bryan Oviedo has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 10' Real Salt Lake come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 15' The referee shows Colorado Rapids SC player a card on 15.
  • 20' With 4 assists to his name this season, Rafael Navarro is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Real Salt Lake.
  • 25' Real Salt Lake are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 30' Real Salt Lake receives a card for a hard tackle on 30.
  • 35' It’s high time Ciara Dargahi made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 40' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Colorado Rapids SC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 45' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 45 minutes.
  • 46' Another change for Real Salt Lake made on 46 minute. Danny Musovski leaves to be changed by Rubio Rubin.
  • 51' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 56' Over 56 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 61' Both keepers have barely been tested. Colorado Rapids SC and Real Salt Lake are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 66' Real Salt Lake started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 66.
  • 69' Kevin Cabral is replacing Jonathan Lewis for the Colorado Rapids SC side.
  • 72' The crowd applauds Justen Glad as he leaves the pitch. Kevon Lambert steps in for Real Salt Lake.
  • 74' Diego Luna does the damage! The net is bulging and Real Salt Lake surge ahead!
  • 79' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 81' It is a substitution in Colorado Rapids SC team. Calvin Harris is replaced by Darren Yapi on 81 minute.
  • 86' 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 Andreas Maxso suffering a number of foals already.
  • 89' The Real Salt Lake bench stirs into life. Diego Luna is withdrawn and Damir Kreilach gets his opportunity.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Real Salt Lake players.
