Events

Match Events

0' The game is set. Columbus Crew SC kicks off things out of here…
5' Columbus Crew SC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
10' Goal! Felipe Mora scores his 45 goal in 11 matches.
15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Santiago Moreno made 287 appearances and scored 24 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
20' It looks like no one’s ball. Portland Timbers is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
25' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Portland Timbers winning 100% of all matches.
30' It looks surprising Portland Timbers does not make any changes. Kamal Miller has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
35' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 35 minutes.
40' Portland Timbers 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.
45' Portland Timbers is showing some good football. However, Portland Timbers are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
46' The Columbus Crew SC manager makes a substitution. Will Sands departs to be replaced by Jacen Russell-Rowe.
51' What an equalizer from Cucho Hernandez!
56' Diego Rossi needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
57' Sensational shot from Santiago Moreno. Portland Timbers is back in the lead.
60' The referee calls foul for Jonathan Rodriguez. He receives a card.
62' The Portland Timbers manager makes a substitution. Eryk Williamson departs to be replaced by Cristhian Paredes.
67' David Ayala has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 17 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
69' Time for substitution for Portland Timbers. Jonathan Rodriguez is replaced by Dairon Asprilla.
74' What an equalizer from Steven Moreira!
76' Sean Zawadzki is replacing Rudy Camacho for the Columbus Crew SC side.
80' The referee shows Columbus Crew SC player a card on 80.
85' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Columbus Crew SC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
87' The Portland Timbers manager makes a substitution. Juan Mosquera departs to be replaced by Eric Miller.
Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-2.
