Events

Match Events

0' The game is set. Columbus Crew SC kicks off things out of here…
1' It’s a booking for Philadelphia Union player. Alejandro Bedoya gets a card.
6' Philadelphia Union is showing some good football. However, Philadelphia Union are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
11' Philadelphia Union are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
16' Philadelphia Union are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
21' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
26' Bruno Damiani needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
31' Philadelphia Union is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
32' Jesus Bueno picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
35' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Jovan Lukic on 35 minutes.
40' Columbus Crew SC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 2 meetings.
45' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 45 minutes.
46' Markus Anderson makes way for Chris Donovan at the 46 minute mark. A tactical switch from Philadelphia Union.
47' Mohamed Farsi has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 45 minutes.
47' Another substitution for Columbus Crew SC to replace Yevgen Cheberko by Marcelo Herrera on 47 minute.
50' Controversy at the stadium! Daniel Gazdag argues furiously but the card stands.
55' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Philadelphia Union needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
60' Columbus Crew SC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Max Arfsten scoring 1 goals.
63' It is a substitution in Philadelphia Union team. Bruno Damiani is replaced by Sal Olivas on 63 minute.
65' A meaty challenge results in booking for Kai Wagner on 65.
70' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kai Wagner made 304 appearances and scored 9 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
72' A tactical swap from Philadelphia Union — David Vazquez on, Indiana Vassilev off on 72 minutes.
77' Chris Donovan, a USA , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
78' Jeremy Rafanello gets the nod from Philadelphia Union. He replaces Alejandro Bedoya and will look to change the dynamic.
79' A moment of madness from Sal Olivas on 79 minutes earns him a card. Philadelphia Union will be frustrated.
84' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
86' Columbus Crew SC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Taha Habroune is hanging Diego Rossi on the field on 86 minute.
87' Danley Jean Jacques was booked on 87.
90' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Taha Habroune on 90 minutes.
That’s it! Another goalless match for Columbus Crew SC and Philadelphia Union (для сухой ничьи).
