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.
20' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
25' Brenner da Silva is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for FC Cincinnati tonight.

43' Orlando City SC is showing some good football. However, Orlando City SC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

51' Supporters expect more eagerness from Kyle Smith, as he is very good at scoring at Exploria Stadium with 3 goals in the last 3 games.
56' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
60' The Orlando City SC bench stirs into life. Facundo Torres Perez is withdrawn and Martin Ojeda gets his opportunity.
