- 0' What a night it is going to be! Nashville SC welcome Atlanta United FC for this crunch clash at Fairgrounds Stadium.
- 5' Atlanta United FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
- 10' 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.
- 15' It looks like no one’s ball. Nashville SC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 20' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 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 Brooks Lennon suffering a number of foals already.

- 56' Bartosz Slisz has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 56 minutes.
- 61' 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.
- 63' A tactical swap from Nashville SC — Alex Muyl on, Tyler Boyd off on 63 minutes.
- 64' Another change for Nashville SC made on 64 minute. Walker Zimmerman leaves to be changed by Brent Kallman.
