Events

Match Events

  • 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. FC Cincinnati is hosting Minnesota United FC for another epic battle.
  • 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
  • 10' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Minnesota United FC winning 100% of all matches.
  • 15' FC Cincinnati 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.
  • 20' The travelling Minnesota United FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 25' It’s high time Jaap Stam made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 30' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Minnesota United FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 35' It looks surprising FC Cincinnati does not make any changes. Kei Kamara has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 40' Minnesota United FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
  • 45' 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.
  • 50' 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.
  • 55' FC Cincinnati started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 55.
  • 58' Jurgen Locadia is replacing Alvaro Barreal for the FC Cincinnati side.
  • 63' Osvaldo Alonso has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 16 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 66' A meaty challenge results in booking for Osvaldo Alonso on 66.
  • 71' 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 Kamohelo Mokotjo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 76' The whistle greets Kei Kamara as he departs to be replaced by Aaron Schoenfeld.
  • 81' A meaty challenge results in booking for Zico Bailey on 81.
  • 82' It’s a booking for Minnesota United FC player. Chase Gasper gets a Yellow card.
  • 87' Supporters expect more eagerness from Chase Gasper, as he is very good at scoring at Nippert Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 90' It is a substitution in FC Cincinnati team. Frankie Amaya is replaced by Rashawn Dally on 90 minute.
  • The final score is 0-1.
