15' A quiet spell here at TQL Stadium. Montreal Impact FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
20' 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 Alvaro Barreal suffering a number of foals already.
22' It’s a booking for Montreal Impact FC player. Emanuel Maciel gets a Yellow card.
26' Mathieu Choiniere has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 26.

75' A meaty challenge results in booking for Rudy Camacho on 75.
77' Aljaz Struna gets the nod from Montreal Impact FC. He replaces Joaquin Torres and will look to change the dynamic.
