Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Minnesota United FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Over 5 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 10' 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.
- 15' The travelling Real Salt Lake supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 20' Minnesota United FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 25' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Real Salt Lake needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 30' The energy levels are beginning to show. Pablo Mastroeni might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 35' It looks like no one’s ball. Real Salt Lake is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 40' Nelson Palacio needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 45' 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.
- 50' Brayan Vera has been relatively quiet despite scoring 8 goals in his last 190 appearances.
- 55' 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.
- 60' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 65' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Eric Ramsay will be considering his options from the bench.
- 70' Real Salt Lake is showing some good football. However, Real Salt Lake are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 75' Bongokuhle Hlongwane has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 5 cards already picked up this season.
- 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 Wil Trapp suffering a number of foals already.
- 85' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Minnesota United FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 90' Real Salt Lake come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 1-1 the final result. will be bitterly disappointed.
