Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Saputo Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 10' The travelling FC Cincinnati supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 15' named a 3-4-1-2 earlier, and opted for a 3-4-1-2 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 20' With 4 assists to his name this season, Ariel Lassiter is clearly more than just a goal scorer for FC Cincinnati.
  • 25' 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 Brandon Vazquez suffering a number of foals already.
  • 30' Nick Hagglund, a USA , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 34' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Victor Wanyama on 34 minutes.
  • 39' Junior Moreno is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Montreal Impact FC tonight.
  • 44' Both keepers have barely been tested. Montreal Impact FC and FC Cincinnati are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 46' The supporters are chanting for Lassi Lappalainen. He replaces Bryce Duke on 46 minute.
  • 51' 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.
  • 53' GOAL! Kwadwo Opoku fires home to make it 1-0!
  • 58' Montreal Impact FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 63' The energy levels are beginning to show. Hernan Losada might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 65' Fresh legs for Montreal Impact FC! Ahmed Hamdi comes on to replace Ariel Lassiter.
  • 66' Fresh legs for Montreal Impact FC! Nnamdi Chinonso Offor comes on to replace Mason Toye.
  • 67' FC Cincinnati manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Yuya Kubo is hanging Brandon Vazquez on the field on 67 minute.
  • 72' FC Cincinnati has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 2 meetings.
  • 77' Dom Badji is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for FC Cincinnati so far.
  • 78' The supporters are chanting for Romell Quioto. He replaces Kwadwo Opoku on 78 minute.
  • 80' FC Cincinnati ring the changes. Nick Hagglund has done his job and it is now time for Bret Halsey to step up.
  • 82' The Montreal Impact FC bench stirs into life. Victor Wanyama is withdrawn and Samuel Piette gets his opportunity.
  • 85' It is a substitution in FC Cincinnati team. Junior Moreno is replaced by Sergio Santos on 85 minute.
  • 90' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Matt Miazga on 90 minutes.
  • The final score is 1-1.
