Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. Philadelphia Union host Columbus Crew SC — let the battle begin!
  • 3' Poor challenge from Derrick Jones. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 8' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. DeJuan Jones made 284 appearances and scored 10 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 13' Columbus Crew SC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 18' Columbus Crew SC is showing some good football. However, Columbus Crew SC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 22' The whistle greets Nathan Harriel as he departs to be replaced by Olivier Mbaizo.
  • 27' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 32' The home supporters are growing impatient. Philadelphia Union must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 37' Marcelo Herrera is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Philadelphia Union tonight.
  • 42' Columbus Crew SC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Max Arfsten scoring 1 goals.
  • 45' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Kai Wagner on 45 minutes.
  • 50' Philadelphia Union have won 484 goals from 289 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 55' A quiet spell here at Subaru Park. Columbus Crew SC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 60' Jacen Russell-Rowe has been relatively quiet despite scoring 17 goals in his last 287 appearances.
  • 62' Max Arfsten gets the nod from Columbus Crew SC. He replaces DeJuan Jones and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 67' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Columbus Crew SC winning 50% of all matches.
  • 71' The crowd applauds Aziel Jackson as he leaves the pitch. Cucho Hernandez steps in for Columbus Crew SC.
  • 72' Columbus Crew SC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Darlington Nagbe is hanging Alexandru Matan on the field on 72 minute.
  • 75' The deadlock is broken! Yaw Yeboah gets on the scoresheet on 75 minutes.
  • 80' The energy levels are beginning to show. Wilfried Nancy might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 85' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 85 minutes.
  • 89' Malte Amundsen has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 89.
  • 90' That is a card for Columbus Crew SC. Patrick Schulte will be fuming at that decision.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Columbus Crew SC players.
