Events

Match Events

0' The wait is over. D.C. United SC get us underway at Audi Field.
5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
10' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
15' Sam Nicholson has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
20' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
25' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
30' D.C. United SC is showing some good football. However, D.C. United SC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
35' Diego Rubio is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Colorado Rapids SC so far.
