Events
Match Events
- 0' Welcome to that hosts another battle between New England Revolution and Portland Timbers.
- 5' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Portland Timbers needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 10' New England Revolution seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 15' It looks surprising Portland Timbers does not make any changes. Kelyn Rowe has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 20' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 25' It’s high time Giovanni Savarese made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 30' David Guzman needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 35' 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.
- 40' 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 Julio Cascante suffering a number of foals already.
- 45' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Matt Turner made 281 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 50' New England Revolution is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 55' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 60' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering New England Revolution that had 281 games and scored 404 goals.
- 65' It looks like no one’s ball. Portland Timbers is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 70' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 75' Portland Timbers started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 75.
- 80' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 85' Zarek Valentin has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 14 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 90' Portland Timbers is showing some good football. However, Portland Timbers are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- The final score is 1-1.
