Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: D.C. United SC gets underway.
- 4' That looks like a foul for a card for Iago.
- 9' It’s high time Óscar Pareja made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 10' What a strike from Jackson Hopkins! The score is 1-0.
- 15' It looks surprising D.C. United SC does not make any changes. Wilder Cartagena has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 20' D.C. United 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.
- 21' D.C. United SC player sees a card in front of him.
- 26' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Orlando City SC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 31' 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.
- 36' 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 Maxime Crepeau suffering a number of foals already.
- 41' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 41 minutes.
- 46' It is a substitution in D.C. United SC team. Aaron Herrera is replaced by Jared Stroud on 46 minute.
- 51' Keisuke Kurokawa has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 56' What an equalizer from Justin Ellis!
- 61' Another substitution for Orlando City SC to replace Tiago by Tyrese Spicer on 61 minute.
- 66' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 67' GOAL! Tyrese Spicer scores on 67. Assisted by Adrian Marin
- 72' Orlando City SC is showing some good football. However, Orlando City SC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 73' A meaty challenge results in booking for Luis Aquino on 73.
- 75' That looks like a foul for a card for Louis Munteanu.
- 77' It is a substitution in D.C. United SC team. Jackson Hopkins is replaced by Jacob Murrell on 77 minute.
- 82' It looks like no one’s ball. Orlando City SC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 83' Another substitution for Orlando City SC to replace Justin Ellis by Tahir Reid-Brown on 83 minute.
- 84' What a strike from Louis Munteanu! The score is 2-2.
