Match Events
- 0' That's the starting whistle at Allianz Field. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Minnesota United FC and Orlando City SC.
- 5' Minnesota United FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Orlando City SC backline.
- 10' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 15' The travelling Orlando City SC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 20' Orlando City SC come into this ranked 16 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 25' Miguel Tapias is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Orlando City SC tonight.
- 30' Minnesota United FC are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against Orlando City SC's 3-4-2-1 shape.
- 35' Both keepers have barely been tested. Minnesota United FC and Orlando City SC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 40' Antonio Carlos has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 45' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Orlando City SC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 50' Mender Garcia has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 15 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 55' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Orlando City SC that had 283 games and scored 425 goals.
- 57' Sang-Bin Jung makes way for Wil Trapp at the 57 minute mark. A tactical switch from Minnesota United FC.
- 58' GOAL! Bongokuhle Hlongwane fires home to make it 1-0!
- 63' 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.
- 66' What composure from Ivan Angulo! The Colombia international strokes it home. 1-1.
- 67' Minnesota United FC ring the changes. Mender Garcia has done his job and it is now time for Luis Amarilla to step up.
- 70' It is a substitution in Orlando City SC team. Martin Ojeda is replaced by Felipe Martins on 70 minute.
- 73' A change in the Minnesota United FC ranks — Hassani Dotson exits the field as Franco Fragapane enters on 73.
- 75' Duncan McGuire gets the nod from Orlando City SC. He replaces Ramiro Enrique and will look to change the dynamic.
- 80' The 33-year-old Kemar Lawrence has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 85' 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 Robin Jansson suffering a number of foals already.
- 86' Luca Petrasso is ready to make an impact after coming on for Gaston Gonzalez at the 86 minute mark.
- 87' The whistle greets Mauricio Pereira as he departs to be replaced by Dagur Dan Thorhallsson.
- 88' GOAL! Duncan McGuire scores on 88.
- 90' Poor challenge from Kervin Arriaga. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- The points are shared — Minnesota United FC 1-2 Orlando City SC. Honours even.
