Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Columbus Crew SC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Internacional CF Miami and Columbus Crew SC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 10' Steven Moreira is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Columbus Crew SC tonight.
- 15' 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.
- 16' Magnificent from Luis Suarez! That is 148 goals in 521 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 21' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 26' 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 Sean Zawadzki suffering a number of foals already.
- 31' Internacional CF Miami currently sit 2 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 34' Brilliant from the midfielder! Casemiro makes it 1-1 with a superb finish on 34.
- 39' It looks like no one’s ball. Internacional CF Miami is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 44' Internacional CF Miami 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.
- 49' The energy levels are beginning to show. Laurent Courtois might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 50' Noah Allen makes no mistake. The score reads 2-1 and Internacional CF Miami are in front.
- 55' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Internacional CF Miami side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 60' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Laurent Courtois will be considering his options from the bench.
- 61' A tactical swap from Columbus Crew SC — Sekou Bangoura on, Dylan Chambost off on 61 minutes.
- 66' Both keepers have barely been tested. Internacional CF Miami and Columbus Crew SC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 71' With 0 assists to his name this season, Daniel Gazdag is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Columbus Crew SC.
- 74' It’s a booking for Columbus Crew SC player. Sekou Bangoura gets a card.
- 75' A change in the Internacional CF Miami ranks — Facundo Mura exits the field as David Ruiz enters on 75.
- 80' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Internacional CF Miami and Columbus Crew SC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 82' It’s gonna be a card for Casemiro.
- 86' Preston Plambeck gets the nod from Internacional CF Miami. He replaces Mateo Silvetti and will look to change the dynamic.
- 90' Poor challenge from Patrick Schulte. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
