Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: New England Revolution gets underway.
  • 5' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Will Sands made 284 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' It’s high time Henrik Rydström made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 17' Peyton Miller has so much to prove this time. He replaces Brayan Ceballos on 17 minute.
  • 22' New England Revolution is showing some good football. However, New England Revolution are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 24' Columbus Crew SC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Max Arfsten on 24.
  • 29' 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 Patrick Schulte suffering a number of foals already.
  • 34' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 39' Supporters expect more eagerness from Brooklyn Raines, as he is very good at scoring at Gillette Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 44' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with New England Revolution winning 100% of all matches.
  • 49' It looks like no one’s ball. New England Revolution is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 54' What an equalizer from Dor Turgeman!
  • 59' Sean Zawadzki needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 64' The travelling Columbus Crew SC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 67' Jamal Thiare is replacing Daniel Gazdag for the Columbus Crew SC side.
  • 71' Columbus Crew SC receives a card for a hard tackle on 71.
  • 76' 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.

  • 85' Goal! Carles Gil scores his 56 goal in 281 matches.
  • 86' Another change for New England Revolution made on 86 minute. Luca Langoni leaves to be changed by Diego Fagundez.
  • 87' It’s a booking for Columbus Crew SC player. Max Arfsten gets a card.
  • 87' Time for substitution for Columbus Crew SC. Andre Gomes is replaced by Sekou Bangoura.
  • 88' The whistle greets Steven Moreira as he departs to be replaced by Nəriman Axundzadə.
  • 90' It’s gonna be a card for Rudy Camacho.
  • 90' Eric Klein has so much to prove this time. He replaces Dor Turgeman on 90 minute.
