Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Nashville SC gets underway.
- 2' Damion Lowe has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 2.
- 7' Nashville SC looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
- 10' What composure from Daniel Gazdag! The Hungary international strokes it home. 1-0.
- 15' 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.
- 20' The referee calls foul for Mikkel Uhre. He receives a card.
- 25' 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.
- 30' It looks surprising Nashville SC does not make any changes. Forster Ajago has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 35' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Philadelphia Union and Nashville SC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 38' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Daniel Gazdag makes it 2-0.
- 43' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 48' Tai Baribo has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 53' It looks like no one’s ball. Philadelphia Union is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 58' 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.
- 59' A meaty challenge results in booking for Alex Muyl on 59.
- 60' Time for substitution for Philadelphia Union. Mikkel Uhre is replaced by Samuel Adeniran.
- 61' That looks like a foul for a card for Jack Elliott.
- 61' The whistle greets Damion Lowe as he departs to be replaced by Jack Elliott.
- 62' Brian Anunga makes way for Anibal Godoy at the 62 minute mark. A tactical switch from Nashville SC.
- 67' Josh Bauer was booked on 67.
- 71' A tactical swap from Nashville SC — Daniel Lovitz on, Alex Muyl off on 71 minutes.
- 75' Fresh legs for Philadelphia Union! Jesus Bueno comes on to replace Leon Flach.
- 76' It’s a booking for Nashville SC player. Anibal Godoy gets a card.
- 81' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Philadelphia Union side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 86' Taylor Washington has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 14 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 87' The whistle greets Jose Martinez as he departs to be replaced by Jeremy Rafanello.
- 89' Magnificent from Daniel Gazdag! That is 64 goals in 95 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 90' The Nashville SC bench stirs into life. Taylor Washington is withdrawn and Joey Skinner gets his opportunity.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 3-0.
