Events

Match Events

0' Temperatures are rising at Allianz Field as Minnesota United FC face off against Real Salt Lake in what promises to be a fascinating contest.
5' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
10' Minnesota United FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Real Salt Lake backline.
15' Real Salt Lake have won 425 goals from 287 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
20' Nedum Onuoha is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Real Salt Lake so far.
25' 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.
30' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 30 minutes.
32' A moment of madness from Pablo Ruiz on 32 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Real Salt Lake will be frustrated.
37' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Romain Metanire.
42' Donald Toia has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
47' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kei Kamara made 283 appearances and scored 51 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
52' Minnesota United FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
57' 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 Sam Johnson suffering a number of foals already.
62' The travelling Real Salt Lake supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
67' It is a substitution in Real Salt Lake team. Douglas Martinez is replaced by Sam Johnson on 67 minute.
72' 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.
77' Minnesota United FC ring the changes. Jacori Hayes has done his job and it is now time for Marlon Hairston to step up.
78' A tactical swap from Real Salt Lake — Nick Besler on, Pablo Ruiz off on 78 minutes.
79' It is a substitution in Real Salt Lake team. Damir Kreilach is replaced by Kyle Beckerman on 79 minute.
84' 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.
85' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Justen Glad on 85 minutes.
90' Maikel Chang makes way for Donald Toia at the 90 minute mark. A tactical switch from Real Salt Lake.
Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-0.
