Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Columbus Crew SC gets underway.
- 5' Diego Rossi has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 14 appearances with only 2 goals this season.
- 10' Sporting Kansas City started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
- 15' It’s high time Wilfried Nancy made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 20' It looks like no one’s ball. Sporting Kansas City is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 25' The travelling Sporting Kansas City supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kayden Pierre made 277 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 31' The Sporting Kansas City manager makes a substitution. Kayden Pierre departs to be replaced by Khiry Shelton.
- 32' What a strike from Cucho Hernandez! The score is 1-0.
- 37' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Sporting Kansas City needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 42' 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 Yevgen Cheberko suffering a number of foals already.
- 46' The whistle greets Willy Agada as he departs to be replaced by Johnny Russell.
- 47' Cucho Hernandez with the second goal in the match!
- 47' It is a substitution in Sporting Kansas City team. Stephen Afrira is replaced by Alenis Vargas on 47 minute.
- 52' 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.
- 57' Sporting Kansas City receives a card for a hard tackle on 57.
- 61' Columbus Crew SC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Sean Zawadzki is hanging Aidan Morris on the field on 61 minute.
- 66' GOAL! Christian Ramirez scores on 66.
- 71' Goal! Cucho Hernandez scores his 53 goal in 246 matches.
- 72' The supporters are chanting for Derrick Jones. He replaces Darlington Nagbe on 72 minute.
- 73' Columbus Crew SC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Alexandru Matan is hanging Diego Rossi on the field on 73 minute.
- 74' Sporting Kansas City receives a card for a hard tackle on 74.
- 76' Jake Davis has so much to prove this time. He replaces Nemanja Radoja on 76 minute.
- 81' 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.
- 85' Another substitution for Columbus Crew SC to replace Christian Ramirez by Taha Habroune on 85 minute.
- 90' It looks surprising Columbus Crew SC does not make any changes. Johnny Russell has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- That’s it! Another goalless match for Columbus Crew SC and Sporting Kansas City (для сухой ничьи).
