Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: D.C. United SC gets underway.
- 4' The referee shows Orlando City SC player a card on 4.
- 9' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jackson Hopkins made 257 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 10' Jackson Hopkins puts D.C. United SC on the lead.
- 15' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 20' D.C. United SC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Kye Rowles scoring 1 goals.
- 21' D.C. United SC player sees a card in front of him.
- 26' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 31' Orlando City SC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 36' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 41' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering D.C. United SC that had 257 games and scored 354 goals.
- 46' Another substitution for D.C. United SC to replace Aaron Herrera by Jared Stroud on 46 minute.
- 51' D.C. United SC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 51.
- 56' Goal! Justin Ellis scores his 1 goal in 260 matches.
- 61' It is a substitution in Orlando City SC team. Tiago is replaced by Tyrese Spicer on 61 minute.
- 66' It looks surprising Orlando City SC does not make any changes. Kye Rowles has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

- 75' That looks like a foul for a card for Louis Munteanu.
- 77' The supporters are chanting for Jacob Murrell. He replaces Jackson Hopkins on 77 minute.
- 82' 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 Peglow suffering a number of foals already.
- 83' Another substitution for Orlando City SC to replace Justin Ellis by Tahir Reid-Brown on 83 minute.
