Events

Match Events

0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Philadelphia Union and Nashville SC get this one started.
5' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
10' Nashville SC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
18' Philadelphia Union is taking the lead after the goal scored by Kacper Przybylko on 18.
23' It’s a booking for Nashville SC player. Ake Arnaud Loba gets a Yellow card.
27' A meaty challenge results in booking for Kacper Przybylko on 27.
31' Charles Sapong gets the nod from Nashville SC. He replaces Daniel Rios and will look to change the dynamic.
36' 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 Jakob Glesnes suffering a number of foals already.
41' Philadelphia Union currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
46' It is a substitution in Nashville SC team. Jack Maher is replaced by Walker Zimmerman on 46 minute.
51' David Romney has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 19 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
53' It’s a booking for Nashville SC player. Anibal Godoy gets a Yellow card.
55' Poor challenge from Jakob Glesnes. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
60' Anibal Godoy has been relatively quiet despite scoring 4 goals in his last 8 appearances.
61' It is a substitution in Philadelphia Union team. Daniel Gazdag is replaced by Paxten Aaronson on 61 minute.
62' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Jamiro Monteiro.
62' Another change for Nashville SC made on 62 minute. Ake Arnaud Loba leaves to be changed by Abu Danladi.
67' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jack Elliott made 289 appearances and scored 19 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
72' Nashville SC looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
77' The Nashville SC manager makes a substitution. Taylor Washington departs to be replaced by Dylan Nealis.
82' Philadelphia Union have won 484 goals from 289 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
87' It’s high time Gary Smith made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
90' The referee has no hesitation. Dylan Nealis is booked for Nashville SC — Yellow card on 90.
90' It is a substitution in Philadelphia Union team. Jamiro Monteiro is replaced by Stuart Findlay on 90 minute.
