  • 43' It’s a booking for D.C. United SC player. Jared Stroud gets a card.

  • 53' Alex Muyl was booked on 53.
  • 54' D.C. United SC ring the changes. Garrison Tubbs has done his job and it is now time for Matti Peltola to step up.

  • 90' A change in the Nashville SC ranks — Patrick Yazbek exits the field as Teal Bunbury enters on 90.
  • It finishes all square. D.C. United SC and Nashville SC share the spoils 0-1.
