Events

Match Events

0' In just a few seconds Nissan Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Nashville SC and Internacional CF Miami.
5' Anibal Godoy needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 46 Yellow cards this season.
10' Nashville SC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Internacional CF Miami backline.
15' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Nashville SC winning 50% of all matches.
18' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Franco Negri.
23' The 34-year-old Victor Ulloa has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
28' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
33' Fafa Picault adds to his 3 season tally! Nashville SC lead 1-0 — and this changes everything.
38' Nashville SC are deployed in a 4-4-2 today, looking to exploit space against Internacional CF Miami's 3-4-3 shape.
43' 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.
46' The whistle greets Victor Ulloa as he departs to be replaced by Josef Martinez.
49' Lukas MacNaughton does the damage! The net is bulging and Nashville SC surge ahead!
52' A moment of madness from Dixon Arroyo on 52 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Internacional CF Miami will be frustrated.
56' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Harvey Neville.
61' With 1 assists to his name this season, Shaq Moore is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Internacional CF Miami.
66' Internacional CF Miami have won 369 goals from 226 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
67' The Internacional CF Miami manager makes a substitution. Ryan Sailor departs to be replaced by Ian Fray.
70' The Nashville SC bench stirs into life. Fafa Picault is withdrawn and Jacob Shaffelburg gets his opportunity.
75' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
78' It is a substitution in Internacional CF Miami team. Robert Taylor is replaced by Corentin Jean on 78 minute.
81' Another substitution for Nashville SC to replace Alex Muyl by Randall Leal on 81 minute.
86' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Phil Neville will be considering his options from the bench.
87' Nashville SC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Jan Gregus is hanging Sean Davis on the field on 87 minute.
With this win, Nashville SC is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
