Events

Match Events

0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Subaru Park!
3' The referee has no hesitation. Mauricio Pineda is booked for Chicago Fire FC — Yellow card on 3.
8' Philadelphia Union currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
13' 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.
16' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Daniel Gazdag makes it 1-0.
21' Colombia international Jhon Duran has been a key figure this campaign — 3 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
26' The travelling Chicago Fire FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
28' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Alejandro Bedoya.
33' It looks surprising Philadelphia Union does not make any changes. Kacper Przybylko has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
37' Jack Elliott has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 37 minutes.
42' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
47' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
49' Chris Mueller adds to his 0 season tally! Chicago Fire FC lead 2-1 — and this changes everything.
53' What a moment for Julian Carranza! That strike on 53 puts his side firmly in control.
58' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Andre Reynolds II made 295 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
63' Miguel Navarro has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
66' Fresh legs for Chicago Fire FC! Brian Gutierrez comes on to replace Jairo Torres.
70' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Xherdan Shaqiri on 70 minutes.
72' Jose Andres Martinez gets the nod from Philadelphia Union. He replaces Jack McGlynn and will look to change the dynamic.
77' 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 Alejandro Bedoya suffering a number of foals already.
79' The supporters are chanting for Javier Casas. He replaces Xherdan Shaqiri on 79 minute.
82' Cory Burke adds to his 0 season tally! Philadelphia Union lead 4-1 — and this changes everything.
82' Controversy at the stadium! Federico Navarro argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
85' It’s a booking for Philadelphia Union player. Cory Burke gets a Yellow card.
86' The supporters are chanting for Paxten Aaronson. He replaces Daniel Gazdag on 86 minute.
89' It is a substitution in Chicago Fire FC team. Boris Sekulic is replaced by Andre Reynolds II on 89 minute.
90' Philadelphia Union receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 90.
Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 4-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
