Events

Match Events

0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Philadelphia Union to score. At the same time, Columbus Crew SC does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
3' Derrick Jones was booked on 3.
8' 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 Cucho Hernandez suffering a number of foals already.
13' Columbus Crew SC have won 461 goals from 303 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
18' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Philadelphia Union and Columbus Crew SC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
22' The crowd applauds Nathan Harriel as he leaves the pitch. Olivier Mbaizo steps in for Philadelphia Union.
27' Supporters expect more eagerness from Derrick Jones, as he is very good at scoring at Subaru Park with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
32' It’s high time Jim Curtin made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
37' Max Arfsten needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 9 Yellow cards this season.
42' 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.
45' Controversy at the stadium! Kai Wagner argues furiously but the card stands.
50' Over 50 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
55' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jacob Glesnes made 305 appearances and scored 6 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
60' Columbus Crew SC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
62' Max Arfsten is replacing DeJuan Jones for the Columbus Crew SC side.
67' With 7 assists to his name this season, Dylan Chambost is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Columbus Crew SC.
71' Columbus Crew SC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Cucho Hernandez is hanging Aziel Jackson on the field on 71 minute.
72' The crowd applauds Alexandru Matan as he leaves the pitch. Darlington Nagbe steps in for Columbus Crew SC.
75' Yaw Yeboah doubles the advantage! 0-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
80' It looks like no one’s ball. Columbus Crew SC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
85' Patrick Schulte has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
89' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Malte Amundsen on 89 minutes.
90' Patrick Schulte is having his name booked by the referee on 90.
The referee brings this contest to a close. Columbus Crew SC take all three points.
