  • 5' Portland Timbers are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 10' 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.
  • 15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 20' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 25' Portland Timbers are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 28' Ibrahim Sunusi adds to his 0 season tally! Montreal Impact FC lead 1-0 — and this changes everything.

  • 35' Kwadwo Opoku makes no mistake. The score reads 2-0 and Montreal Impact FC are in front.
  • 40' It looks surprising Montreal Impact FC does not make any changes. Franck Boli has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

  • 53' It’s a booking for Portland Timbers player. Bryan Acosta gets a card.
  • 58' Portland Timbers 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.
  • 61' The supporters are chanting for Sebastian Blanco. He replaces Bryan Acosta on 61 minute.
  • 64' Mathieu Choiniere does the damage! The net is bulging and Montreal Impact FC surge ahead!

  • 86' What a moment for Franck Boli! That strike on 86 puts his side firmly in control.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 4-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
