Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Red Bull Arena. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' Rod Fanni has been relatively quiet despite scoring 2 goals in his last 299 appearances.
  • 10' It is a cagey affair so far. Montreal Impact FC in their trying to find a way past Chicago Fire FC's compact .
  • 15' What composure from Robert Beric! The Slovenia international strokes it home. 0-1.
  • 20' A quiet spell here at Red Bull Arena. Chicago Fire FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 22' Magnificent from Lassi Lappalainen! That is 19 goals in 212 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 27' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Montreal Impact FC and Chicago Fire FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 32' Jukka Raitala is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Chicago Fire FC so far.
  • 37' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 42' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 47' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Raphaël Wicky will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 52' Miguel Navarro needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 57' C.J. Sapong has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 62' Over 62 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 67' GOAL! Maximiliano Urruti fires home to make it 2-1!
  • 72' The Chicago Fire FC bench stirs into life. Miguel Navarro is withdrawn and Jonathan Bornstein gets his opportunity.
  • 73' GOAL! Francisco Calvo fires home to make it 2-2!
  • 73' Another substitution for Chicago Fire FC to replace Djordje Mihailovic by Elliot Collier on 73 minute.
  • 75' Zachary Brault-Guillard catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 75.
  • 77' Controversy at the stadium! C.J. Sapong argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 78' Clement Bayiha is ready to make an impact after coming on for Shamit Shome at the 78 minute mark.
  • 79' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Samuel Piette.
  • 84' 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 Zachary Brault-Guillard suffering a number of foals already.
  • 86' Time for substitution for Montreal Impact FC. Maximiliano Urruti is replaced by Amar Sejdic.
  • 87' A change in the Chicago Fire FC ranks — Boris Sekulic exits the field as Johan Kappelhof enters on 87.
