Events

Match Events

0' The wait is over. Minnesota United FC get us underway at .
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 Clint Irwin suffering a number of foals already.
10' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
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.
20' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Colorado Rapids SC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
25' Lalas Abubakar has been relatively quiet despite scoring 22 goals in his last 303 appearances.
30' With 0 assists to his name this season, Andre Shinyashiki is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Colorado Rapids SC.
35' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
39' Darwin Quintero makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and Minnesota United FC are in front.
44' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Minnesota United FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
45' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Kellyn Acosta on 45 minutes.
50' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
55' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Robin Lod made 301 appearances and scored 39 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
60' The referee calls foul for Chase Gasper. He receives a Yellow card.
65' The energy levels are beginning to show. Adrian Heath might look to freshen things up shortly.
67' Fresh legs for Colorado Rapids SC! Nicolas Mezquida comes on to replace Diego Rubio.
71' The supporters are chanting for Ethan Finlay. He replaces Kevin Molino on 71 minute.
76' It looks surprising Colorado Rapids SC does not make any changes. Sam Vines has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
79' Another substitution for Minnesota United FC to replace Darwin Quintero by Hassani Dotson on 79 minute.
80' The Colorado Rapids SC manager makes a substitution. Danny Wilson departs to be replaced by Andre Shinyashiki.
83' Michael Boxall catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 83.
88' Tommy Smith has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
The final score is 1-0.
