Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between FC Cincinnati and Toronto FC is underway.
  • 5' 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.
  • 10' With 0 assists to his name this season, Brandon Servania is clearly more than just a goal scorer for FC Cincinnati.
  • 15' named a 3-4-1-2 earlier, and opted for a 4-3-3 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 19' Poor challenge from Obinna Nwobodo. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 24' 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 Obinna Nwobodo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 25' Raoul Petretta has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 25.
  • 30' Toronto FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
  • 35' A stunning finish from Santiago Arias — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 40' FC Cincinnati are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 41' That looks like a foul for a card for Federico Bernardeschi.
  • 42' Fresh legs for Toronto FC! Sigurd Rosted comes on to replace Raoul Petretta.
  • 46' A change in the Toronto FC ranks — C.J. Sapong exits the field as Deandre Kerr enters on 46.
  • 51' It looks like no one’s ball. FC Cincinnati is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 54' Luciano Acosta has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 54 minutes.
  • 59' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 63' Dom Badji has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 63 minutes.
  • 68' The supporters are chanting for Arquimides Ordonez. He replaces Dom Badji on 68 minute.
  • 69' Malik Pinto gets the nod from FC Cincinnati. He replaces Marco Angulo and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 74' Kosi Thompson needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 77' Another substitution for Toronto FC to replace Kobe Franklin by Cristian Gutierrez on 77 minute.
  • 82' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Bret Halsey on 82 minutes.
  • 87' Kobe Franklin is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for FC Cincinnati tonight.
  • 88' Fresh legs for FC Cincinnati! Gerardo Valenzuela comes on to replace Luciano Acosta.
  • 89' Fresh legs for FC Cincinnati! Stiven Jimenez comes on to replace Yuya Kubo.
