Events

Match Events

  • 0' And we are off! Columbus Crew SC vs Montreal Impact FC — let the football do the talking.
  • 5' Andrew Tarbell is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Columbus Crew SC so far.
  • 10' Montreal Impact FC have won 379 goals from 283 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 15' Both keepers have barely been tested. Columbus Crew SC and Montreal Impact FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 20' It’s high time Caleb Porter made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 24' Lassi Lappalainen adds to his 0 season tally! Montreal Impact FC lead 0-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 25' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Lassi Lappalainen makes it 0-2.
  • 25' A moment of madness from Harrison Afful on 25 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Columbus Crew SC will be frustrated.
  • 30' 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 Luis Binks suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 40' Montreal Impact 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.
  • 42' The referee calls foul for Jukka Raitala. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 45' The USA Gyasi Zardes breaks the deadlock on 45 minutes. 1-2!
  • 50' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 50 minutes.
  • 52' Poor challenge from Jorge Luis Corrales. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 54' It’s a booking for Montreal Impact FC player. Luis Binks gets a Yellow card.
  • 59' Supporters expect more eagerness from Shamit Shome, as he is very good at scoring at MAPFRE Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 61' The whistle greets Lassi Lappalainen as he departs to be replaced by Maximiliano Urruti.
  • 66' Clement Diop, a Senegal , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 67' Ema Boateng is replacing Youness Mokhtar for the Columbus Crew SC side.
  • 70' Hector Jimenez has so much to prove this time. He replaces Milton Valenzuela on 70 minute.
  • 74' Against the run of play, Bojan has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 78' A tactical swap from Columbus Crew SC — Fanendo Adi on, Aidan Morris off on 78 minutes.
  • 83' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 85' Montreal Impact FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Shamit Shome is hanging Bojan on the field on 85 minute.
  • 90' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-2 draw is a fair result on the day.
