Events
Match Events
- 0' Temperatures are rising at as D.C. United SC face off against Chicago Fire FC in what promises to be a fascinating contest.
- 5' Over 5 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 10' Leonardo Jara has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 12' Magnificent from C.J. Sapong! That is 25 goals in 305 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 14' What a strike from Djordje Mihailovic! The score is 0-2.
- 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' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kenneth Kronholm made 290 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 29' The travelling Chicago Fire FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 34' Raheem Edwards has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 39' Aleksandar Katai, a Serbia , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 43' What a moment for Ulises Segura! That strike on 43 puts his side firmly in control.
- 43' Chicago Fire SC make a change. Johan Kappelhof trudges off to be replaced by Fabian Herbers on 43 minutes.
- 48' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 49' Russell Canouse has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 49.
- 54' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 54 minutes.
- 59' 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 Junior Moreno suffering a number of foals already.
- 61' The Costa Rica Ulises Segura breaks the deadlock on 61 minutes. 2-2!
- 62' Przemyslaw Frankowski catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 62.
