Events

Match Events

0' The game is set. Philadelphia Union kicks off things out of here…
2' Charles Sapong doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
7' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
12' Nashville SC have won 341 goals from 231 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
17' A quiet spell here at Nissan Stadium. Philadelphia Union seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
22' The travelling Philadelphia Union supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
27' David Romney has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
32' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
37' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
42' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Philadelphia Union winning 0% of all matches.
46' Anibal Godoy is replacing Brian Anunga for the Nashville SC side.
51' 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.
56' Fresh legs for Philadelphia Union! Jose Andres Martinez comes on to replace Daniel Gazdag.
61' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Nashville SC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
66' Joe Willis has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
71' Philadelphia Union has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 2 meetings.
76' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Nashville SC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
79' A meaty challenge results in booking for Jose Andres Martinez on 79.
82' Philadelphia Union manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Quinn Sullivan is hanging Leon Flach on the field on 82 minute.
83' Another change for Nashville SC made on 83 minute. Charles Sapong leaves to be changed by Jhonder Cadiz.
87' Luke Haakenson is ready to make an impact after coming on for Randall Leal at the 87 minute mark.
90' The Nashville SC manager makes a substitution. Hany Mukhtar departs to be replaced by Abu Danladi.
The final score is 1-0.
