Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at !
  • 5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 10' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 15' Nicolas Gaitan has been relatively quiet despite scoring 13 goals in his last 278 appearances.
  • 20' The home supporters are growing impatient. Montreal Impact FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 25' David Ousted has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 30' Chicago Fire FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 35' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 40' It is a substitution in Montreal Impact FC team. Clement Bayiha is replaced by Omar Browne on 40 minute.
  • 45' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Montreal Impact FC and Chicago Fire FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 50' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 50 minutes.
  • 55' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Remi Garde will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 60' Montreal Impact FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Chicago Fire FC backline.
  • 65' Montreal Impact FC make a change. Orji Okwonkwo trudges off to be replaced by Harry Novillo on 65 minutes.
  • 70' It looks surprising Montreal Impact FC does not make any changes. Aleksandar Katai has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 75' Chicago Fire SC make a change. Nemanja Nikolics trudges off to be replaced by Przemyslaw Frankowski on 75 minutes.
  • 78' Controversy at the stadium! Bacary Sagna argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 83' Magnificent from Omar Browne! That is 2 goals in 8 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 88' The Chicago Fire SC bench stirs into life. Diego Campos is withdrawn and Cristian Martinez gets his opportunity.
  • 89' Victor Cabrera gets the nod from Montreal Impact FC. He replaces Maximiliano Urruti and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 90' That is a Yellow card for Chicago Fire SC. Johan Kappelhof will be fuming at that decision.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Montreal Impact FC players.
