Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Atlanta United FC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' 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 Thiago Almada suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 14' What a strike from Saba Lobzhanidze! The score is 0-1.
  • 19' Edwin Mosquera is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Atlanta United FC so far.
  • 24' D.C. United SC are deployed in a 4-3-1-2 today, looking to exploit space against Atlanta United FC's 4-2-3-1 shape.
  • 29' Atlanta United FC is showing some good football. However, Atlanta United FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 34' Atlanta United FC 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.
  • 39' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 44' It is a cagey affair so far. D.C. United SC in their 4-3-1-2 trying to find a way past Atlanta United FC's compact 4-2-3-1.
  • 49' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 54' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 54 minutes.
  • 59' A change in the Atlanta United FC ranks — Tyler Wolff exits the field as Xande Silva enters on 59.
  • 60' A change in the Atlanta United FC ranks — Saba Lobzhanidze exits the field as Edwin Mosquera enters on 60.
  • 61' Ajani Fortune is having his name booked by the referee on 61.
  • 62' Yamil Asad is replacing Chris Durkin for the D.C. United SC side.
  • 67' D.C. United SC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Atlanta United FC backline.
  • 72' It is a substitution in Atlanta United FC team. Ajani Fortune is replaced by Matheus Rossetto on 72 minute.
  • 77' A meaty challenge results in booking for Edwin Mosquera on 77.
  • 80' Gabriel Pirani adds to his 2 season tally! D.C. United SC lead 1-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 85' That is a card for D.C. United SC. Christian Benteke will be fuming at that decision.
  • 85' The crowd applauds Mateusz Klich as he leaves the pitch. Cristian Dajome steps in for D.C. United SC.
  • 88' The referee calls foul for Yamil Asad. He receives a card.
  • 89' A meaty challenge results in booking for Xande Silva on 89.
  • 90' Atlanta United FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Juan Sanchez is hanging Georgios Giakoumakis on the field on 90 minute.
  • The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
