Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Audi Field will turn into a battlefield for D.C. United SC and New England Revolution.
- 5' 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 Oniel Fisher suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' A quiet spell here at Audi Field. D.C. United SC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 20' Matt Polster has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 2 goals this season.
- 25' Cristian Penilla needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 30' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 35' 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.
- 40' New England Revolution is showing some good football. However, New England Revolution are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 45' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Frederic Brillant.
- 45' New England Revolution manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Thomas McNamara is hanging Matt Polster on the field on 45 minute.
- 50' D.C. United SC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 55' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 55 minutes.
- 60' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 65' New England Revolution are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 67' The crowd applauds Tajon Buchanan as he leaves the pitch. Cristian Penilla steps in for New England Revolution.
- 68' Erik Sorga has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ola Kamara on 68 minute.
