Match Events
- 0' Temperatures are rising at Exploria Stadium as Orlando City SC face off against Charlotte FC in what promises to be a fascinating contest.
- 5' Christian Fuchs has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 10 cards already picked up this season.
- 10' Charlotte FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 15' Orlando City SC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
- 16' The deadlock is broken! Ruan gets on the scoresheet on 16 minutes.
- 18' That is a Yellow card for Orlando City SC. Ruan will be fuming at that decision.
- 23' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Charlotte FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 28' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Guzman Corujo on 28 minutes.
- 33' It looks surprising Orlando City SC does not make any changes. Brandt Bronico has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 38' The travelling Charlotte FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 43' 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.
- 46' The Charlotte FC bench stirs into life. Cristian Jonatan Ortiz is withdrawn and Ben Bender gets his opportunity.
- 46' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Facundo Torres Perez makes no mistake. 2-0!
- 51' It looks like no one’s ball. Charlotte FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 54' Poor challenge from Jordy Alcivar. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 59' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Joao Moutinho on 59 minutes.
- 60' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Christian Fuchs makes no mistake. 2-1!
- 60' Brandt Bronico was booked on 60.
- 65' 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.
- 66' Andres Perea is ready to make an impact after coming on for Junior Urso at the 66 minute mark.
- 68' Kamil Jozwiak has so much to prove this time. He replaces Daniel Rios on 68 minute.
- 73' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 73 minutes.
- 75' Sergio Ruiz has so much to prove this time. He replaces Alan Franco on 75 minute.
- 80' Over 80 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 81' It is a substitution in Orlando City SC team. Ruan is replaced by Kyle Smith on 81 minute.
- 82' Orrin McKinze Gaines is replacing Jordy Alcivar for the Charlotte FC side.
- 87' Charlotte FC is showing some good football. However, Charlotte FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 88' A moment of madness from Robin Jansson on 88 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Orlando City SC will be frustrated.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-1.
