Events

Match Events

  • 0' And we are off! Minnesota United FC vs Real Salt Lake — let the football do the talking.
  • 5' 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.
  • 10' 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 Dayne St. Clair suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' Robin Lod, a Finland , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 20' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 24' A moment of madness from Everton Luiz on 24 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Real Salt Lake will be frustrated.
  • 29' It looks surprising Minnesota United FC does not make any changes. Jan Gregus has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 31' Anderson Julio does the damage! The net is bulging and Real Salt Lake surge ahead!
  • 35' The referee calls foul for Pablo Ruiz. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 40' Minnesota United FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Real Salt Lake backline.
  • 41' Magnificent from Anderson Julio! That is 32 goals in 300 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 46' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 51' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Real Salt Lake that had 300 games and scored 445 goals.
  • 56' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 61' 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.
  • 65' Another change for Minnesota United FC made on 65 minute. Ethan Finlay leaves to be changed by Justin McMaster.
  • 70' Fresh legs for Real Salt Lake! Justin Meram comes on to replace Anderson Julio.

  • 78' Douglas Martinez has so much to prove this time. He replaces Rubio Mendez on 78 minute.
  • 83' Madagascar international Romain Metanire has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
