  • 25' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.

  • 37' Raoul Petretta was booked on 37.
  • 42' Toronto FC is showing some good football. However, Toronto FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
