Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at !
  • 5' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Toronto FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 10' Luis Diaz has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 22 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 15' Both keepers have barely been tested. Columbus Crew SC and Toronto FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 20' 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.
  • 25' The travelling Toronto FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 30' 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 Richie Laryea suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 40' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Caleb Porter will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 42' A stunning finish from Jonathan Osorio — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 46' Toronto FC make a change. Justin Morrow trudges off to be replaced by Richie Laryea on 46 minutes.
  • 48' Assisted by Wil Trapp with the perfectly-timed delivery and Pedro Santos makes no mistake. 1-1!
  • 53' Toronto FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 58' The home supporters are growing impatient. Columbus Crew SC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 59' Another substitution for Toronto FC to replace Nick DeLeon by Marky Delgado on 59 minute.
  • 64' Toronto FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 67' Luis Argudo is ready to make an impact after coming on for Youness Mokhtar at the 67 minute mark.
  • 72' Drew Moor is ready to make an impact after coming on for Patrick Mullins at the 72 minute mark.
  • 77' Toronto FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 77.
  • 79' Time for substitution for Columbus Crew SC. Luis Diaz is replaced by Romario Williams.
  • 80' A change in the Columbus Crew SC ranks — Connor Maloney exits the field as David Accam enters on 80.
  • 82' GOAL! David Accam fires home to make it 2-1!
  • 87' The 37-year-old Eloy Room has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 90' Goal! Jozy Altidore scores his 33 goal in 288 matches.
  • 90' Poor challenge from Jonathan Mensah. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • Game over. The scoreline of 2-2 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
