Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Nashville SC gets underway.
- 5' Kyle Hiebert needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 10' The travelling St. Louis City supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 11' What a strike from Hany Mukhtar! The score is 1-0.
- 16' Josh Bauer has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 14 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 21' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 26' 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 Celio Pompeu suffering a number of foals already.

- 59' St. Louis City is showing some good football. However, St. Louis City are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
