Events

  • 5' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Anthony Hudson will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 10' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 15' 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 Shkelzen Gashi suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 25' Chad Marshall needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 30' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 35' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.

  • 60' The travelling Seattle Sounders FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 65' It’s high time Anthony Hudson made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.

  • 80' Seattle Sounders FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
