Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds Nissan Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Nashville SC and Austin FC.
  • 5' Austin FC 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.
  • 10' Charles Sapong is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Austin FC so far.
  • 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Nashville SC that had 211 games and scored 305 goals.
  • 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Walker Zimmerman made 285 appearances and scored 24 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 25' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Nashville SC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 30' It looks surprising Austin FC does not make any changes. Daniel Pereira has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 34' Austin FC make a change. Jhohan Romana trudges off to be replaced by Julio Cascante on 34 minutes.
  • 35' Magnificent from Randall Leal! That is 18 goals in 7 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 36' What composure from Randall Leal! The Costa Rica international strokes it home. 2-0.
  • 41' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Josh Wolff will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 46' A quiet spell here at Nissan Stadium. Nashville SC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 51' Austin FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 56' The Nashville SC bench stirs into life. Charles Sapong is withdrawn and Dominique Badji gets his opportunity.
  • 57' It is a substitution in Nashville SC team. Charles Sapong is replaced by Dominique Badji on 57 minute.
  • 62' Rodney Redes makes way for Jared Stroud at the 62 minute mark. A tactical switch from Austin FC.
  • 67' The Nashville SC manager makes a substitution. Jhonder Cadiz departs to be replaced by Hany Mukhtar.
  • 69' Daniel Pereira has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 69.
  • 74' Supporters expect more eagerness from Diego Fagundez, as he is very good at scoring at Nissan Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 79' Another change for Nashville SC made on 79 minute. Randall Leal leaves to be changed by Taylor Washington.
  • 81' The whistle greets Cecilio Dominguez as he departs to be replaced by Kekuta Manneh.
  • 86' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
