Events

Match Events

0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — D.C. United SC and New England Revolution get this one started.
5' A quiet spell here at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. D.C. United SC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
10' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
15' The 36-year-old Gustavo Bou has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
16' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Julian Gressel.
21' USA international Steve Birnbaum has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
26' Over 26 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
31' 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 Cristian Penilla suffering a number of foals already.
36' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering D.C. United SC that had 281 games and scored 384 goals.
41' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
45' That is a Yellow card for D.C. United SC. Yamil Asad will be fuming at that decision.
46' New England Revolution make a change. Michael Mancienne trudges off to be replaced by Henry Kessler on 46 minutes.
51' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Adam Buksa makes it 0-1.
56' New England Revolution has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
61' Both keepers have barely been tested. D.C. United SC and New England Revolution are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
62' New England Revolution ring the changes. Carles Gil has done his job and it is now time for Diego Fagundez to step up.
67' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Ben Olsen will be considering his options from the bench.
69' The supporters are chanting for Federico Higuain. He replaces Edison Flores on 69 minute.
72' Federico Higuain adds to his 0 season tally! D.C. United SC lead 1-1 — and this changes everything.
73' The D.C. United SC bench stirs into life. Oniel Fisher is withdrawn and Chris Odoi-Atsem gets his opportunity.
77' Teal Bunbury is replacing Scott Caldwell for the New England Revolution side.
82' 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.
83' It’s a booking for D.C. United SC player. Frederic Brillant gets a Yellow card.
88' Fresh legs for D.C. United SC! Kevin Paredes comes on to replace Julian Gressel.
90' Justin Rennicks gets the nod from New England Revolution. He replaces Adam Buksa and will look to change the dynamic.
