25' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Cameron Knowles will be considering his options from the bench.
30' Minnesota United FC is showing some good football. However, Minnesota United FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
35' 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.
40' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Minnesota United FC and Columbus Crew SC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
45' Columbus Crew SC 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.
46' A change in the Columbus Crew SC ranks — Alexandru Matan exits the field as Christian Ramirez enters on 46.
51' Alejandro Bran has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.

60' The crowd applauds Teemu Pukki as he leaves the pitch. Tani Oluwaseyi steps in for Minnesota United FC.
61' A change in the Minnesota United FC ranks — Caden Clark exits the field as Loic Mesanvi enters on 61.
66' 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.
71' Fresh legs for Minnesota United FC! Moses Nyeman comes on to replace Alejandro Bran.
75' Fresh legs for Columbus Crew SC! Yevgen Cheberko comes on to replace Yaw Yeboah.
80' The 28-year-old Kervin Arriaga has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
