Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Lower.com Field. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' 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.

- 29' Pedro De la Vega was booked on 29.
- 34' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jordan Morris, as he is very good at scoring at Lower.com Field with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
- 39' 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 Marcelo Herrera suffering a number of foals already.
- 44' Columbus Crew SC is showing some good football. However, Columbus Crew SC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
