Events

Match Events

0' We are underway at . The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
5' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Portland Timbers needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Alvas Powell, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
15' It looks surprising Portland Timbers does not make any changes. Wayne Rooney has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
20' 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.
25' 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.
30' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
35' Portland Timbers is showing some good football. However, Portland Timbers are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
40' The travelling Portland Timbers supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
45' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
50' Diego Chara needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
55' D.C. United SC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
60' It looks like no one’s ball. Portland Timbers is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
65' Portland Timbers started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 65.
70' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
75' 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.
80' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering D.C. United SC that had 278 games and scored 380 goals.
85' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Paul Arriola made 278 appearances and scored 45 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
90' 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 Bill Hamid suffering a number of foals already.
With this win, D.C. United SC is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
