Match Events
- 0' Welcome to Fairgrounds Stadium that hosts another battle between Nashville SC and D.C. United SC.
- 5' 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.
- 10' It looks surprising Nashville SC does not make any changes. Matti Peltola has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 15' Supporters expect more eagerness from Lucas Bartlett, as he is very good at scoring at Fairgrounds Stadium with 2 goals in the last 2 games.
- 20' Nashville SC is showing some good football. However, Nashville SC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 25' GOAL! Louis Munteanu scores on 25.
- 29' What a strike from Kye Rowles! The score is 0-2.
- 34' D.C. United SC looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Louis Munteanu scoring 1 goals.
- 36' That looks like a foul for a card for Hany Mukhtar.
- 37' The referee shows Nashville SC player a card on 37.
- 42' It looks like no one’s ball. Nashville SC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 45' The referee calls foul for Silvan Hefti. He receives a card.
- 50' 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.
- 55' The referee calls foul for Bryan Acosta. He receives a card.
- 60' Goal! Jeisson Palacios scores his 3 goal in 208 matches.
- 65' Brian Schwake has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 33 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 70' 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 Andy Najar suffering a number of foals already.
- 72' The referee calls foul for Jeisson Palacios. He receives a card.
- 74' It’s gonna be a card for Silvan Hefti.
- 76' What a strike from Warren Madrigal! The score is 2-2.
- 81' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 81 minutes.
- 86' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with D.C. United SC winning 0% of all matches.
- 89' Warren Madrigal with the second goal in the match!
- The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
