Events
Match Events
- 0' Temperatures are rising at Dick's Sporting Goods Park as Colorado Rapids SC face off against San Diego FC in what promises to be a fascinating contest.
- 5' With 5 assists to his name this season, Paxten Aaronson is clearly more than just a goal scorer for San Diego FC.
- 10' San Diego FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 15' San Diego FC 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.
- 19' A meaty challenge results in booking for Christopher McVey on 19.
- 22' The referee has no hesitation. Loic Williams is booked for Colorado Rapids SC — card on 22.
- 27' Georgi Minoungou has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 28 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 28' Reggie Cannon has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 28.
- 33' Loic Williams has been relatively quiet despite scoring 2 goals in his last 257 appearances.
- 38' C.J. dos Santos is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for San Diego FC tonight.
- 43' Onni Valakari has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 48' 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 Dante Sealy suffering a number of foals already.
- 53' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 58' Colorado Rapids SC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 58.
- 63' The travelling San Diego FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 68' Over 68 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 70' The supporters are chanting for Ian Murphy. He replaces Kieran Sargeant on 70 minute.
- 71' That is a card for San Diego FC. Ian Murphy will be fuming at that decision.
- 72' Colorado Rapids SC make a change. Georgi Minoungou trudges off to be replaced by Darren Yapi on 72 minutes.
- 77' 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.
- 82' A moment of madness from Rafael Navarro on 82 minutes earns him a card. Colorado Rapids SC will be frustrated.
- 83' The crowd applauds Marcus Ingvartsen as he leaves the pitch. Lewis Morgan steps in for San Diego FC.
- 84' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Darren Yapi on 84 minutes.
- 89' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 90' Fresh legs for Colorado Rapids SC! Lucas Herrington comes on to replace Reggie Cannon.
- 90' It’s gonna be a card for Lewis Morgan.
- The points are shared — Colorado Rapids SC 1-0 San Diego FC. Honours even.
