Events
Match Events
- 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Orlando City SC and Philadelphia Union get this one started.

- 18' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 23' 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 Brenden Aaronson suffering a number of foals already.
- 26' It’s a booking for Philadelphia Union player. Haris Medunjanin gets a Yellow card.
