0' And we are off! Montreal Impact FC vs Columbus Crew SC — let the football do the talking.
5' Columbus Crew SC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Brais Mendez scoring 1 goals.
10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
15' Montreal Impact FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
20' Columbus Crew SC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
25' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Columbus Crew SC winning 50% of all matches.
30' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
35' Montreal Impact FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 35.
40' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
45' France international Bacary Sagna has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
50' It looks like no one’s ball. Columbus Crew SC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
55' The home supporters are growing impatient. Montreal Impact FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
60' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
65' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Montreal Impact FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
70' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Montreal Impact FC and Columbus Crew SC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
75' Columbus Crew SC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
80' Montreal Impact FC is showing some good football. However, Montreal Impact FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
85' 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 Niko Hansen suffering a number of foals already.
90' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
Another three points for Montreal Impact FC.
