Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. Philadelphia Union get us underway at Subaru Park.
  • 5' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 10' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 15' Atlanta United FC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 2 meetings.
  • 20' Nathan Harriel has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 25' 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 Bruno Damiani suffering a number of foals already.
  • 26' That looks like a foul for a card for Enea Mihaj.
  • 28' It’s gonna be a card for Milan Iloski.
  • 30' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Miguel Almiron makes no mistake. 0-1!
  • 35' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Philadelphia Union and Atlanta United FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 40' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 45' The travelling Atlanta United FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 50' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Philadelphia Union needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 53' Poor challenge from Nathan Harriel. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 56' Quinn Sullivan gets the nod from Philadelphia Union. He replaces Indiana Vassilev and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 57' Fresh legs for Philadelphia Union! Jesus Bueno comes on to replace Jovan Lukic.
  • 59' Lucas Hoyos picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 64' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Ryan Richter will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 66' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Tristan Muyumba makes it 0-2.
  • 68' Philadelphia Union receives a card for a hard tackle on 68.
  • 71' The crowd applauds Nathan Harriel as he leaves the pitch. Agustin Anello steps in for Philadelphia Union.
  • 73' A stunning finish from Milan Iloski — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 78' It is a substitution in Atlanta United FC team. Fafa Picault is replaced by Luke Brennan on 78 minute.
  • 83' Arif Kovac, a United States forward, has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 84' A change in the Atlanta United FC ranks — Miguel Almiron exits the field as Arif Kovac enters on 84.
  • 88' Atlanta United FC ring the changes. Tristan Muyumba has done his job and it is now time for Ronald Hernandez to step up.
  • 90' Elias Baez was booked on 90.
  • 90' The whistle greets Cavan Sullivan as he departs to be replaced by Alejandro Bedoya.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Philadelphia Union players.
