Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Columbus Crew SC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Pedro Santos is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Columbus Crew SC tonight.
  • 10' Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 12' A tactical swap from Toronto FC — Ifunanyachi Achara on, Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty off on 12 minutes.
  • 14' GOAL! Jesus Jimenez fires home to make it 0-1!
  • 19' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 24' A quiet spell here at Lower.com Field. Columbus Crew SC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 29' Jonathan Mensah is having his name booked by the referee on 29.
  • 34' It looks like no one’s ball. Toronto FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 39' Michael Bradley, a USA , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 44' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 49' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 53' The supporters are chanting for Luis Diaz. He replaces Yaw Yeboah on 53 minute.
  • 55' Fresh legs for Toronto FC! Ralph Priso-Mbongue comes on to replace Ifunanyachi Achara.
  • 56' GOAL! Lucas Zelarayan fires home to make it 1-1!
  • 57' Lucas Zelarayan doubles the advantage! 2-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 62' The travelling Toronto FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 64' Jayden Nelson catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 64.
  • 66' The Haiti Derrick Etienne breaks the deadlock on 66 minutes. 3-1!
  • 68' The whistle greets Miguel Berry as he departs to be replaced by Gyasi Zardes.
  • 73' Toronto FC have won 397 goals from 300 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 78' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 79' It’s a booking for Toronto FC player. Ralph Priso-Mbongue gets a Yellow card.
  • 82' Controversy at the stadium! Luis Diaz argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 82' A tactical swap from Toronto FC — Jordan Perruzza on, Jayden Nelson off on 82 minutes.
  • 84' Artur is having his name booked by the referee on 84.
  • 85' A meaty challenge results in booking for Artur on 85.
  • 90' 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 Jonathan Osorio suffering a number of foals already.
  • What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — Columbus Crew SC 2-1 Toronto FC.
