25' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
30' Philadelphia Union 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.
35' A quiet spell here at . Philadelphia Union seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
40' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Atlanta United FC that had 283 games and scored 428 goals.
45' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
50' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Julian Gressel made 283 appearances and scored 30 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

75' Fafa Picault has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 15 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
80' Over 80 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
85' It’s high time Gerardo Martino made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
90' The 32-year-old Keegan Rosenberry has been sensational this season — 1 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
It finishes all square. Philadelphia Union and Atlanta United FC share the spoils 0-2.
