Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. Seattle Sounders FC get us underway at .
  • 5' Minnesota United FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Seattle Sounders FC backline.
  • 10' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.

  • 20' Minnesota United FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 25' Seattle Sounders FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 30' 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 Gustav Svensson suffering a number of foals already.

  • 60' Seattle Sounders FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Jordan Morris scoring 1 goals.
  • 65' It looks surprising Seattle Sounders FC does not make any changes. Brent Kallman has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 70' Rasmus Schuller has been relatively quiet despite scoring 2 goals in his last 301 appearances.
  • 75' It is a cagey affair so far. Minnesota United FC in their trying to find a way past Seattle Sounders FC's compact .
  • 80' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 85' The energy levels are beginning to show. Brian Schmetzer might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 90' Francisco Calvo has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
