Events
Match Events
- 0' That's the starting whistle at Saputo Stadium. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Montreal Impact FC and D.C. United SC.
- 5' It’s a booking for D.C. United SC player. Victor Palsson gets a Yellow card.
- 10' 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 Christian Benteke suffering a number of foals already.
- 13' The D.C. United SC bench stirs into life. Mohanad Jeahze is withdrawn and Pedro Santos gets his opportunity.
- 18' Over 18 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 23' D.C. United SC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 25' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Ahmed Hamdi on 25 minutes.
- 30' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with D.C. United SC winning 50% of all matches.
- 35' Mathieu Choiniere is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for D.C. United SC tonight.
- 40' Ilias Iliadis has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 40.
- 45' A moment of madness from Joel Waterman on 45 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Montreal Impact FC will be frustrated.
- 46' The deadlock is broken! Lewis O'Brien gets on the scoresheet on 46 minutes.
- 46' Ariel Lassiter is ready to make an impact after coming on for Ilias Iliadis at the 46 minute mark.
- 51' A quiet spell here at Saputo Stadium. Montreal Impact FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 56' The 28-year-old Ahmed Hamdi has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 60' Lewis O'Brien picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 65' 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.
- 69' Rida Zouhir has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ahmed Hamdi on 69 minute.
- 74' The travelling D.C. United SC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 79' Christopher Durkin has so much to prove this time. He replaces Russell Canouse on 79 minute.
- 84' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 87' A tactical swap from D.C. United SC — Andy Najar on, Ruan off on 87 minutes.
- 88' A change in the Montreal Impact FC ranks — Mathieu Choiniere exits the field as Sean Rea enters on 88.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-1.
