Events

Match Events

  • 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Orlando City SC and Atlanta United FC get this one started.
  • 5' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Orlando City SC winning 50% of all matches.
  • 10' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 15' Both keepers have barely been tested. Orlando City SC and Atlanta United FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 20' 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.
  • 25' Orlando City SC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Atlanta United FC backline.
  • 30' 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 Will Johnson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' Oriol Rosell is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Atlanta United FC so far.
  • 40' Orlando City SC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 45' The 29-year-old Miles Robinson has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 50' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Orlando City SC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 55' With 0 assists to his name this season, Joe Bendik is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Orlando City SC.
  • 60' Over 60 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 65' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 70' Romario Williams, a Jamaica , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 75' Orlando City SC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Antoine Griezmann scoring 2 goals.
  • 80' The home supporters are growing impatient. Orlando City SC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 85' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 90' Jonathan Spector has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 302 appearances.
  • Atlanta United FC celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
