Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. New York Red Bulls kicks off things out of here…
- 5' 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.
- 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Bill Tuiloma made 287 appearances and scored 18 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
- 20' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 25' It’s high time Gerhard Struber made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 30' It looks surprising Portland Timbers does not make any changes. Marvin Loria has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 35' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 40' 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.
- 45' Thomas Edwards has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 48 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 46' The referee calls foul for Eryk Williamson. He receives a Yellow card.
- 51' New York Red Bulls started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 51.
- 53' Portland Timbers is taking the lead after the goal scored by Jaroslaw Niezgoda on 53.
- 58' 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 Luquinhas suffering a number of foals already.
- 63' 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.
- 67' Goal! Aaron Long scores his 16 goal in 283 matches.
- 68' The supporters are chanting for Diego Chara. He replaces Dario Zuparic on 68 minute.
- 69' Dru Yearwood has so much to prove this time. He replaces Frankie Amaya on 69 minute.
- 72' New York Red Bulls manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Omir Fernandez is hanging Dylan Nealis on the field on 72 minute.
- 76' Another substitution for Portland Timbers to replace Santiago Moreno by Sebastian Blanco on 76 minute.
- 81' Zachary Ryan has so much to prove this time. He replaces Tom Barlow on 81 minute.
- 86' The Portland Timbers manager makes a substitution. Marvin Loria departs to be replaced by David Ayala.
- 90' Christian Casseres Jr. was booked on 90.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-1.
