- 0' In just a few seconds Nissan Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Nashville SC and Colorado Rapids SC.
- 5' Colorado Rapids SC is showing some good football. However, Colorado Rapids SC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Eric Miller made 282 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 15' Colorado Rapids SC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
- 20' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 25' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.

- 34' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 35' Goal! Gyasi Zardes scores his 95 goal in 284 matches.
- 40' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 41' Lalas Abubakar was booked on 41.
- 45' Anibal Godoy is having his name booked by the referee on 45.
