Events

Match Events

0' KICK OFF: Montreal Impact FC gets underway.
5' It looks like no one’s ball. Columbus Crew SC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
10' Djordje Mihailovic has been relatively quiet despite scoring 52 goals in his last 294 appearances.
14' What a strike from Lucas Zelarayan! The score is 1-0.
19' Columbus Crew SC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Montreal Impact FC backline.
24' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Columbus Crew SC and Montreal Impact FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
29' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
30' The referee has no hesitation. Joel Waterman is booked for Montreal Impact FC — Yellow card on 30.
35' 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.
40' Montreal Impact FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
45' A quiet spell here at Lower.com Field. Montreal Impact FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
46' A change in the Columbus Crew SC ranks — Josh Williams exits the field as Milos Degenek enters on 46.
47' Luis Diaz has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 47.
52' Montreal Impact FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
57' 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 Rudy Camacho suffering a number of foals already.
62' Aidan Morris needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 15 Yellow cards this season.
64' A tactical swap from Montreal Impact FC — Samuel Piette on, Victor Wanyama off on 64 minutes.
69' Victor Wanyama has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 9 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
70' The crowd applauds Derrick Etienne as he leaves the pitch. Yaw Yeboah steps in for Columbus Crew SC.
71' The Montreal Impact FC bench stirs into life. Djordje Mihailovic is withdrawn and Mason Toye gets his opportunity.
73' Artur gets the nod from Columbus Crew SC. He replaces Lucas Zelarayan and will look to change the dynamic.
78' Both keepers have barely been tested. Columbus Crew SC and Montreal Impact FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
83' It’s high time Wilfried Nancy made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
88' What a strike from Kei Ansu Kamara! The score is 1-1.
89' Kevin Molino has so much to prove this time. He replaces Aidan Morris on 89 minute.
Columbus Crew SC will have plenty to reflect on. Montreal Impact FC were simply the better side today.
