Events
Match Events
- 0' The ball is rolling at Allianz Field. Minnesota United FC are looking to make home advantage count against Real Salt Lake.
- 5' Minnesota United FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Real Salt Lake's shape.
- 10' 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.
- 15' Real Salt Lake 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.
- 20' Real Salt Lake are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 22' What a moment for Zach Booth! That strike on 22 puts his side firmly in control.
- 27' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 29' The referee does not hesitate — a card for DeAndre Yedlin on 29 minutes.
- 34' Minnesota United FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 39' Anthony Markanich has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 3 goals to his name this season.
- 44' 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 Owen Gene suffering a number of foals already.
- 49' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Cameron Knowles will be considering his options from the bench.
- 54' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Joaquin Pereyra made 176 appearances and scored 11 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 59' 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.
- 64' Real Salt Lake has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 2 meetings.
- 69' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Real Salt Lake that had 287 games and scored 425 goals.
- 74' The 26-year-old Juan Sanabria has been sensational this season — 1 goals and 2 assists is a remarkable return.
- 75' Real Salt Lake receives a card for a hard tackle on 75.
- 80' Minnesota United FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 85' Kyle Duncan has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 90' It looks surprising Real Salt Lake does not make any changes. Jefferson Diaz has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — Minnesota United FC 1-1 Real Salt Lake.
