  • 31' Orlando City SC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 31.
  • 34' Anibal Godoy catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 34.
  • 39' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 75' Daryl Dike doubles the advantage! 2-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 80' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Orlando City SC that had 302 games and scored 466 goals.
  • 81' Antonio Carlos has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 81.
  • 81' Jhonder Cadiz is replacing Charles Sapong for the Nashville SC side.
