  • 33' 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 Sean Zawadzki suffering a number of foals already.

  • 73' Columbus Crew SC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 75' Justin Haak doubles the advantage! 0-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.

  • 82' Yaw Yeboah makes way for Luis Diaz at the 82 minute mark. A tactical switch from Columbus Crew SC.
