Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. Philadelphia Union get us underway at .
  • 5' Orlando City SC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
  • 10' It looks surprising Orlando City SC does not make any changes. Keegan Rosenberry has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 15' Cory Burke needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Cristian Higuita made 286 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 25' USA international Derrick Jones has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 30' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Orlando City SC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 35' It’s high time Jim Curtin made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 40' Scott Sutter has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 45' Joe Bendik is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Orlando City SC tonight.
  • 50' Jack Elliott is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Orlando City SC so far.
  • 55' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 60' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Orlando City SC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 65' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 65 minutes.
  • 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 Andre Blake suffering a number of foals already.
  • 75' Philadelphia Union fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 80' It looks like no one’s ball. Philadelphia Union is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 85' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 90' Sacha Kljestan has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
