Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Philadelphia Union to score. At the same time, Nashville SC does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' It’s high time B.J. Callaghan made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 10' Nashville SC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 15' The travelling Nashville SC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 20' Brian Schwake needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 25' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Nashville SC that had 190 games and scored 284 goals.
- 30' 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.
- 35' 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 Daniel Lovitz suffering a number of foals already.
- 40' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Philadelphia Union needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 45' It looks surprising Nashville SC does not make any changes. Patrick Yazbek has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

- 55' Nashville SC looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
- 60' Olwethu Makhanya has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 11 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 65' Supporters expect more eagerness from Indiana Vassilev, as he is very good at scoring at Subaru Park with 2 goals in the last 2 games.
- 70' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 75' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 75 minutes.
- 80' Philadelphia Union started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 80.
- 85' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
