Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Orlando City SC and Charlotte FC is underway.
  • 5' Charlotte FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 10' Orlando City SC currently sit 15 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 15' named a 5-3-2 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 20' It looks like no one’s ball. Orlando City SC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 21' A goal from the Brazil international Luis Aquino! He fires home on 21 to make it 1-0!
  • 24' It’s gonna be a card for Ivan Angulo.
  • 29' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 33' Morrison Agyemang makes no mistake. The score reads 1-1 and Charlotte FC are in front.
  • 38' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 38 minutes.
  • 41' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Ashley Westwood.
  • 45' That is a card for Orlando City SC. Martin Ojeda will be fuming at that decision.
  • 49' What a moment for Martin Ojeda! That strike on 49 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 54' It looks surprising Orlando City SC does not make any changes. Tiago has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 59' The referee calls foul for Harry Toffolo. He receives a card.
  • 61' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Martin Ojeda makes no mistake. 3-1!
  • 65' Orlando City SC receives a card for a hard tackle on 65.
  • 70' 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 Zakaria Taifi suffering a number of foals already.
  • 73' Charlotte FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Archie Goodwin is hanging Idan Gorno on the field on 73 minute.
  • 74' Fresh legs for Orlando City SC! Tahir Reid-Brown comes on to replace Tiago.
  • 78' The Orlando City SC bench stirs into life. Zakaria Taifi is withdrawn and Ignacio Gomez gets his opportunity.
  • 79' Poor challenge from Ignacio Gomez. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 80' The Charlotte FC bench stirs into life. Harry Toffolo is withdrawn and David Schnegg gets his opportunity.
  • 85' Charlotte FC 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.
  • 87' GOAL! Ignacio Gomez fires home to make it 4-1!
  • 90' Luis Aquino makes way for Colin Guske at the 90 minute mark. A tactical switch from Orlando City SC.
  • Another three points for Orlando City SC.
