- 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
- 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Rod Fanni made 279 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 15' Colorado Rapids SC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
- 20' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 25' Colorado Rapids SC is showing some good football. However, Colorado Rapids SC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 30' Evan Bush has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 14 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 35' Colorado Rapids SC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 40' It’s high time Remi Garde made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 45' Montreal Impact FC 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.

- 60' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 65' 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 Yannick Boli suffering a number of foals already.
- 70' Supporters expect more eagerness from Danny Wilson, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 75' It looks like no one’s ball. Colorado Rapids SC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
