Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Allianz Field will turn into a battlefield for Minnesota United FC and Real Salt Lake.
- 5' With 1 assists to his name this season, Owen Gene is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Real Salt Lake.
- 10' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 15' Tomas Chancalay has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 4 goals to his name this season.
- 20' The 23-year-old Nectarios Triantis has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 1 assists is a remarkable return.
- 22' GOAL! Zach Booth fires home to make it 0-1!
- 27' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 29' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for DeAndre Yedlin.
- 34' Supporters expect more eagerness from Justen Glad, as he is very good at scoring at Allianz Field with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
- 39' Real Salt Lake started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 39.
- 44' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Minnesota United FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 49' Zavier Gozo is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Minnesota United FC tonight.
- 54' USA international Drake Callender has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 59' Real Salt Lake come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 64' Rafael has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 10 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 69' It looks surprising Minnesota United FC does not make any changes. Joaquin Pereyra has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 74' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 75' That looks like a foul for a card for Noel Caliskan.
- 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 DeAndre Yedlin suffering a number of foals already.
- 85' Minnesota United FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Real Salt Lake backline.
- 90' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- The points are shared — Minnesota United FC 1-1 Real Salt Lake. Honours even.
