  • 30' Montreal Impact FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 30.
  • 35' 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 Djordje Mihailovic suffering a number of foals already.
  • 40' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.

  • 61' The Columbus Crew SC manager makes a substitution. Isaiah Parente departs to be replaced by Luis Diaz.
  • 64' Time for substitution for Montreal Impact FC. Erik Hurtado is replaced by Lassi Lappalainen.
  • 69' The energy levels are beginning to show. Wilfried Nancy might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 74' The home supporters are growing impatient. Montreal Impact FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 77' Alexandru Matan gets the nod from Columbus Crew SC. He replaces Derrick Etienne and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 80' Bjorn Maars Johnsen gets the nod from Montreal Impact FC. He replaces Mustafa Kizza and will look to change the dynamic.
