Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Audi Field will turn into a battlefield for D.C. United SC and Montreal Impact FC.

- 16' Montreal Impact FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Zachary Brault-Guillard on 16.
- 21' Over 21 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 26' 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 Andy Najar suffering a number of foals already.
- 31' It looks like no one’s ball. D.C. United SC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 36' Both keepers have barely been tested. D.C. United SC and Montreal Impact FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 40' GOAL! Andy Najar scores on 40.
- 45' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 46' Djordje Mihailovic has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ibrahim Sunusi on 46 minute.

- 56' Montreal Impact FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Mason Toye is hanging Joaquin Torres on the field on 56 minute.
- 58' Montreal Impact FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 63' 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.
- 68' Drew Skundrich has so much to prove this time. He replaces Paul Arriola on 68 minute.
- 73' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 75' Rida Zouhir is ready to make an impact after coming on for Mathieu Choiniere at the 75 minute mark.
- 77' Felipe Martins is ready to make an impact after coming on for Moses Nyeman at the 77 minute mark.
- 82' D.C. United SC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Yordy Reyna is hanging Kevin Paredes on the field on 82 minute.
