Events

Match Events

0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Orlando City SC to score. At the same time, FC Cincinnati does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
5' 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 Pedro Gallese suffering a number of foals already.
10' It looks like no one’s ball. FC Cincinnati is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
15' Orlando City SC currently sit 12 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
