Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: FC Cincinnati gets underway.
  • 4' Goal! Sam Surridge scores his 65 goal in 14 matches.
  • 9' Luciano Acosta has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 9 minutes.
  • 14' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Nashville SC and FC Cincinnati are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 19' Chidozie Awaziem was booked on 19.
  • 24' Nashville SC have won 320 goals from 219 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 25' Sam Surridge has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 25 minutes.
  • 30' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 35' It looks surprising Nashville SC does not make any changes. Ian Murphy has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 40' 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 Roman Celentano suffering a number of foals already.
  • 41' That is a card for Nashville SC. Sam Surridge will be fuming at that decision.
  • 46' Nashville SC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 51' It’s high time Pat Noonan made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 52' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Luca Orellano makes no mistake. 2-2!
  • 56' DeAndre Yedlin is ready to make an impact after coming on for Yamil Asad at the 56 minute mark.
  • 61' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 63' The whistle greets Jonathan Perez as he departs to be replaced by Teal Bunbury.
  • 67' Fresh legs for FC Cincinnati! Kevin Kelsy comes on to replace Sergio Santos.
  • 72' Another substitution for Nashville SC to replace Brian Anunga by Anibal Godoy on 72 minute.
  • 74' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Ian Murphy on 74 minutes.
  • 75' That looks like a foul for a card for Anibal Godoy.
  • 79' DeAndre Yedlin picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 84' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 87' Teenage Hadebe has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ian Murphy on 87 minute.
  • 90' The referee has no hesitation. Daniel Lovitz is booked for Nashville SC — card on 90.
  • celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
