  • 10' What a strike from Hugo Picard! The score is 0-1.
  • 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Bruno Damiani made 16 appearances and scored 9 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

  • 26' The referee shows Philadelphia Union player a card on 26.

  • 35' Supporters expect more eagerness from Taha Habroune, as he is very good at scoring at Subaru Park with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 40' 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' Olwethu Makhanya was booked on 45.
  • 45' Agustin Anello is replacing Jovan Lukic for the Philadelphia Union side.
  • 50' It’s high time Bradley Carnell made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 55' 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.

  • 65' The whistle greets Bruno Damiani as he departs to be replaced by Ezekiel Alladoh.
  • 66' Marcelo Herrera has so much to prove this time. He replaces Mohamed Farsi on 66 minute.
