Events

Match Events

0' Temperatures are rising at Lower.com Field as Columbus Crew SC face off against Philadelphia Union in what promises to be a fascinating contest.
4' The Colombia Cucho Hernandez breaks the deadlock on 4 minutes. 1-0!
9' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
14' Controversy at the stadium! Marcelo Herrera argues furiously but the card stands.
