Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at !
  • 5' It looks surprising Minnesota United FC does not make any changes. Luis Argudo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jan Gregus, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 15' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Minnesota United FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 20' It looks like no one’s ball. Minnesota United FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 25' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Minnesota United FC and Columbus Crew SC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 30' The travelling Columbus Crew SC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 35' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 40' Ghana international David Accam has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 45' Minnesota United FC 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.
  • 50' Over 50 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 55' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 60' Columbus Crew SC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 1 meetings.
  • 65' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jonathan Mensah made 284 appearances and scored 9 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 70' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 75' Patrick Mullins, a United States , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 80' 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 Brent Kallman suffering a number of foals already.
  • 85' Ethan Finlay has been relatively quiet despite scoring 30 goals in his last 282 appearances.
  • 90' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Columbus Crew SC that had 284 games and scored 426 goals.
  • With this win, Minnesota United FC is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
