Match Events
- 0' What a night it is going to be! Colorado Rapids SC welcome St. Louis City for this crunch clash at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.
- 5' 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.
- 10' Kevin Cabral has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 15' 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.
- 20' St. Louis City fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 25' It looks surprising Colorado Rapids SC does not make any changes. Roman Burki has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 30' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Colorado Rapids SC that had 275 games and scored 396 goals.
- 35' Colorado Rapids SC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined St. Louis City backline.
- 40' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 45' Both keepers have barely been tested. Colorado Rapids SC and St. Louis City are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 46' Indiana Vassilev gets the nod from St. Louis City. He replaces Akil Watts and will look to change the dynamic.
- 47' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Jared Stroud.
- 52' The travelling St. Louis City supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 57' A goal from the Sweden international Rasmus Alm! He fires home on 57 to make it 0-1!
- 61' St. Louis City manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Tomas Ostrak is hanging Joao Klauss on the field on 61 minute.
- 66' 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 Nicholas Gioacchini suffering a number of foals already.
- 70' A change in the Colorado Rapids SC ranks — Max Alves exits the field as Jonathan Lewis enters on 70.
- 75' Selmir Pidro needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 77' Another substitution for Colorado Rapids SC to replace Bryan Acosta by Ralph Priso-Mbongue on 77 minute.
- 78' St. Louis City make a change. Rasmus Alm trudges off to be replaced by Miguel Perez on 78 minutes.
- 79' A meaty challenge results in booking for Celio Pompeu on 79.
- 84' Over 84 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 89' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Lalas Abubakar on 89 minutes.
- 90' It’s a booking for St. Louis City player. Tim Parker gets a Yellow card.
- celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
