Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds will turn into a battlefield for FC Cincinnati and Real Salt Lake.
  • 5' 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 Damir Kreilach suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Roland Lamah made 281 appearances and scored 16 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Real Salt Lake that had 280 games and scored 417 goals.
  • 20' It’s high time Alan Koch made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 25' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 30' 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.
  • 35' It looks like no one’s ball. Real Salt Lake is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 38' A meaty challenge results in booking for Albert Rusnak on 38.
  • 42' What a strike from Albert Rusnak! The score is 0-1.
  • 45' The referee calls foul for Corey Baird. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 47' GOAL! Sam Johnson scores on 45.
  • 52' FC Cincinnati started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 52.
  • 57' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 57 minutes.
  • 58' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Kendall Waston.
  • 59' GOAL! Albert Rusnak scores on 59.
  • 64' 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.
  • 67' Kekuta Manneh has so much to prove this time. He replaces Allan Cruz on 67 minute.
  • 72' The travelling Real Salt Lake supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 74' Sebastian Saucedo has so much to prove this time. He replaces Corey Baird on 74 minute.
  • 77' It is a substitution in FC Cincinnati team. Darren Mattocks is replaced by Caleb Stanko on 77 minute.
  • 82' It looks surprising FC Cincinnati does not make any changes. Donald Toia has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 87' The Real Salt Lake manager makes a substitution. Sam Johnson departs to be replaced by Nick Besler.
  • 90' The Real Salt Lake manager makes a substitution. Jefferson Savarino departs to be replaced by Joao Plata.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Real Salt Lake players.
