Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Subaru Park!
- 2' Martin Ojeda has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 2 minutes.
- 7' Ivan Angulo has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 1 cards already picked up this season.
- 9' What a moment for Ivan Angulo! That strike on 9 puts his side firmly in control.
- 14' Orlando City SC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 16' GOAL! Andres Perea fires home to make it 1-2!
- 17' The deadlock is broken! Andres Perea gets on the scoresheet on 17 minutes.
- 20' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Felipe Martins.
- 25' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Philadelphia Union and Orlando City SC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 30' It looks surprising Philadelphia Union does not make any changes. Rodrigo Schlegel has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 35' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Philadelphia Union that had 293 games and scored 491 goals.
- 36' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Ivan Angulo.
- 41' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 46' Both keepers have barely been tested. Philadelphia Union and Orlando City SC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 51' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Óscar Pareja will be considering his options from the bench.
- 56' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 61' Philadelphia Union are deployed in a 4-3-1-2 today, looking to exploit space against Orlando City SC's 4-2-3-1 shape.
- 66' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 66 minutes.
- 70' Another substitution for Orlando City SC to replace Ivan Angulo by Gaston Gonzalez on 70 minute.
- 72' The whistle greets Mikael Uhre as he departs to be replaced by Matthew Real.
- 77' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 80' Duncan McGuire gets the nod from Orlando City SC. He replaces Ramiro Enrique and will look to change the dynamic.
- 84' Time for substitution for Orlando City SC. Mauricio Pereira is replaced by Dagur Dan Thorhallsson.
- 88' Kai Wagner is having his name booked by the referee on 88.
- Philadelphia Union will have plenty to reflect on. Orlando City SC were simply the better side today.
