5' Another change for Chicago Fire FC made on 5 minute. Andrew Gutman leaves to be changed by Chase Gasper.
10' Philadelphia Union is showing some good football. However, Philadelphia Union are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
15' Philadelphia Union are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
20' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
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 Chris Brady suffering a number of foals already.
30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Rafael Czichos made 409 appearances and scored 13 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
35' With 3 assists to his name this season, Andrew Gutman is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Chicago Fire FC.
39' Brian Gutierrez has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 39 minutes.
44' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
45' The referee shows Chicago Fire FC player a card on 45.
50' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Philadelphia Union side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
55' What a moment for Mikkel Uhre! That strike on 55 puts his side firmly in control.
60' It’s high time Frank Klopas made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
65' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
70' Chris Brady was booked on 70.
73' The Chicago Fire FC manager makes a substitution. Chase Gasper departs to be replaced by Jonathan Dean.
78' A quiet spell here at Subaru Park. Philadelphia Union seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
79' A tactical swap from Philadelphia Union — Alejandro Bedoya on, Jack McGlynn off on 79 minutes.
82' The Germany Fabian Herbers breaks the deadlock on 82 minutes. 1-2!
87' Jose Martinez has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 87.
89' Another change for Chicago Fire FC made on 89 minute. Hugo Cuypers leaves to be changed by Tom Barlow.
