Events

Match Events

0' The wait is over. Orlando City SC get us underway at Audi Field.
5' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Orlando City SC winning 50% of all matches.
7' GOAL! Mauricio Pereira scores on 7.
12' Orlando City SC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
17' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
22' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His D.C. United SC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
27' Mexico international Tony Alfaro has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
32' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
37' Both keepers have barely been tested. D.C. United SC and Orlando City SC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
42' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Brendan Hines-Ike on 42 minutes.
46' The whistle greets Moses Nyeman as he departs to be replaced by Julian Gressel.
51' The Orlando City SC bench stirs into life. Benji Michel is withdrawn and Robin Jansson gets his opportunity.
56' 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 Drew Skundrich suffering a number of foals already.
61' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Joao Moutinho.
64' Felipe Martins gets the nod from D.C. United SC. He replaces Junior Moreno and will look to change the dynamic.
69' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Mauricio Pereira.
70' A change in the Orlando City SC ranks — Mauricio Pereira exits the field as Andres Perea enters on 70.
75' 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.
78' Joseph Mora makes way for Yamil Asad at the 78 minute mark. A tactical switch from D.C. United SC.
79' The whistle greets Joseph Mora as he departs to be replaced by Yamil Asad.
82' Fresh legs for Orlando City SC! Chris Mueller comes on to replace Tesho Akindele.
87' With 0 assists to his name this season, Moses Nyeman is clearly more than just a goal scorer for D.C. United SC.
90' Orlando City SC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
Another three points for Orlando City SC.
