- 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Orlando City SC and Portland Timbers get this one started.
- 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 Bill Tuiloma suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 15' Orlando City SC 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.
- 20' Portland Timbers is showing some good football. However, Portland Timbers are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

- 55' The home supporters are growing impatient. Orlando City SC must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 60' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Orlando City SC that had 283 games and scored 425 goals.

- 70' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
