Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at TQL Stadium!
  • 2' The England Calvin Harris breaks the deadlock on 2 minutes. 1-0!
  • 3' Poor challenge from Ralph Priso-Mbongue. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 6' The referee calls foul for Ralph Priso-Mbongue. He receives a Red card.
  • 11' Over 11 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.

  • 17' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both FC Cincinnati and Toronto FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .

  • 27' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 32' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Bob Bradley will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 37' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 42' 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 Pozuelo suffering a number of foals already.

  • 51' Junior Moreno has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.

  • 67' Tyler Blackett gets the nod from FC Cincinnati. He replaces John Nelson and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 72' Toronto FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 75' A moment of madness from Tyler Blackett on 75 minutes earns him a Yellow card. FC Cincinnati will be frustrated.
  • 77' It is a substitution in Toronto FC team. Kadin Chung is replaced by Kobe Franklin on 77 minute.
  • 82' Toronto FC have won 369 goals from 280 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 86' Nick Markanich is replacing Luciano Acosta for the FC Cincinnati side.
  • 88' That is a Yellow card for FC Cincinnati. Alvaro Barreal will be fuming at that decision.
  • With this win, FC Cincinnati is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
