Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Fairgrounds Stadium!
  • 5' It looks surprising Nashville SC does not make any changes. Enea Mihaj has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' Over 10 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 11' The supporters are chanting for Will Reilly. He replaces Ajani Fortune on 11 minute.
  • 16' Lucas Hoyos, a Argentina , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 21' It looks like no one’s ball. Nashville SC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 26' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Aleksei Miranchuk made 359 appearances and scored 48 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 31' Atlanta United FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 36' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 41' Atlanta United FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 46' Nashville SC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 46.
  • 51' Nashville SC 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.
  • 56' 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.
  • 61' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Nashville SC that had 223 games and scored 326 goals.
  • 62' Atlanta United FC make a change. Matthew Edwards trudges off to be replaced by Will Reilly on 62 minutes.
  • 63' Bryan Acosta is replacing Edvard Tagseth for the Nashville SC side.
  • 68' Matthew Corcoran has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 73' It is a substitution in Nashville SC team. Ahmed Qasem is replaced by Alex Muyl on 73 minute.
  • 78' Atlanta United FC have won 440 goals from 295 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 79' Against the run of play, Shak Mohammed has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 83' Atlanta United FC ring the changes. Luke Brennan has done his job and it is now time for Fafa Picault to step up.
  • 85' It’s gonna be a card for Shak Mohammed.
  • 90' Time for substitution for Nashville SC. Shak Mohammed is replaced by Jordan Knight.
  • 90' The referee calls foul for Enea Mihaj. He receives a card.
  • What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — Nashville SC 1-0 Atlanta United FC.
