Events
Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Orlando City SC and FC Cincinnati is underway.
- 5' Orlando City SC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Martin Ojeda scoring 2 goals.
- 10' Over 10 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 13' GOAL! Brandon Vazquez fires home to make it 0-1!
- 18' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Orlando City SC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 23' 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.
- 28' Robin Jansson has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 53 cards already picked up this season.
- 33' 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.
- 37' Brandon Vazquez has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 37.
- 42' Junior Urso has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 42 minutes.
- 47' The FC Cincinnati bench stirs into life. Ian Murphy is withdrawn and Isaac Atanga gets his opportunity.
- 52' FC Cincinnati is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 54' Brandon Vazquez has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 54 minutes.
- 58' That is a Yellow card for Orlando City SC. Robin Jansson will be fuming at that decision.
- 61' Tyler Blackett picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 63' Poor challenge from Yuya Kubo. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 67' Fresh legs for Orlando City SC! Benji Michel comes on to replace Cesar Araujo.
- 72' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ercan Kara made 30 appearances and scored 20 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 73' Junior Urso picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 77' FC Cincinnati make a change. Alvas Powell trudges off to be replaced by Zico Bailey on 77 minutes.
- 81' A change in the FC Cincinnati ranks — Dominique Badji exits the field as Calvin Harris enters on 81.
- 81' A moment of madness from Antonio Carlos on 81 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Orlando City SC will be frustrated.
- 86' FC Cincinnati 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' It is a substitution in FC Cincinnati team. Luciano Acosta is replaced by Alvaro Barreal on 87 minute.
- 88' Time for substitution for Orlando City SC. Junior Urso is replaced by Jhegson Mendez.
- 90' Alec Kann catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 90.
