Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to TQL Stadium that hosts another battle between FC Cincinnati and Orlando City SC.
  • 5' named a 3-4-1-2 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 10' FC Cincinnati currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 13' Rafael Santos was booked on 13.
  • 18' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 18 minutes.
  • 23' The travelling Orlando City SC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 28' FC Cincinnati started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 28.
  • 33' A tactical swap from Orlando City SC — Ramiro Enrique on, Duncan McGuire off on 33 minutes.
  • 38' Orlando City SC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
  • 41' Orlando City SC player sees a card in front of him.

  • 44' Luciano Acosta is having his name booked by the referee on 44.
  • 46' Another change for FC Cincinnati made on 46 minute. Ian Murphy leaves to be changed by Yerson Mosquera.
  • 51' FC Cincinnati are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 55' The referee has no hesitation. Cesar Araujo is booked for Orlando City SC — card on 55.
  • 57' FC Cincinnati make a change. Sergio Santos trudges off to be replaced by Aaron Boupendza on 57 minutes.
  • 62' 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 Sergio Santos suffering a number of foals already.
  • 67' Orlando City SC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Martin Ojeda is hanging Mauricio Pereyra on the field on 67 minute.
  • 70' The FC Cincinnati manager makes a substitution. Nick Hagglund departs to be replaced by Bret Halsey.
  • 75' Both keepers have barely been tested. FC Cincinnati and Orlando City SC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 80' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Orlando City SC winning 100% of all matches.
  • 83' The Orlando City SC bench stirs into life. Rafael Santos is withdrawn and Michael Halliday gets his opportunity.
  • 88' Orlando City SC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 90' It’s gonna be a card for Aaron Boupendza.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 0-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
