- 0' KICK OFF: Chicago Fire FC gets underway.
- 5' Minnesota United FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
- 10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
- 15' Nicolas Romero needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 20' 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.
- 25' 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 Rominigue Kouame suffering a number of foals already.
- 26' Joel Waterman puts Chicago Fire FC on the lead.
- 31' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 36' Minnesota United FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 40' It’s gonna be a card for Wil Trapp.
- 41' GOAL! Dje Davilla scores on 41. Assisted by Andre Franco
- 46' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.

- 64' Chicago Fire FC is showing some good football. However, Chicago Fire FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

- 70' Goal! Philip Zinckernagel scores his 52 goal in 61 matches.
- 72' Another substitution for Minnesota United FC to replace Anthony Markanich by Joseph Rosales on 72 minute.
