Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Orlando City SC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 10' Orlando City SC have won 439 goals from 291 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 15' Josef Martinez has been relatively quiet despite scoring 148 goals in his last 292 appearances.
  • 20' It’s high time James O'Connor made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 25' 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 Carlos Ascues suffering a number of foals already.
  • 30' Atlanta United FC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 1 meetings.
  • 35' The energy levels are beginning to show. Gerardo Martino might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 40' Hector Villalba has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 45' Scott Sutter has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 50' It looks like no one’s ball. Atlanta United FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 55' With 0 assists to his name this season, Christopher Mueller is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Orlando City SC.
  • 60' 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.
  • 65' Atlanta United FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 70' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 75' PC has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 23 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 80' Oriol Rosell needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 85' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Orlando City SC that had 291 games and scored 439 goals.
  • 90' Orlando City SC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 90.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-2 draw is a fair result on the day.
