Events

Match Events

  • 40' Controversy at the stadium! Nick DeLeon argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 45' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.

  • 51' The travelling Toronto FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 56' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Jozy Altidore.

  • 64' Jozy Altidore was booked on 64.
  • 69' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Ronny Deila will be considering his options from the bench.

  • 72' James Sands picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
