Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Philadelphia Union kicks off things out of here…
- 2' The deadlock is broken! Martin Ojeda gets on the scoresheet on 2 minutes.
- 7' 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 Mason Stajduhar suffering a number of foals already.
- 9' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Ivan Angulo makes no mistake. 0-2!
- 14' Over 14 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 16' GOAL! Andres Perea fires home to make it 1-2!
- 17' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Andres Perea makes no mistake. 2-2!
- 20' Felipe Martins was booked on 20.
- 25' Philadelphia Union are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Orlando City SC backline.
- 30' Argentina international Rodrigo Schlegel has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 35' Philadelphia Union have won 521 goals from 305 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 36' Ivan Angulo was booked on 36.
- 41' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Orlando City SC winning 50% of all matches.
- 46' The 25-year-old Gaston Gonzalez has been sensational this season — 1 goals and 1 assists is a remarkable return.
- 51' Jack Elliott is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Orlando City SC so far.
- 56' Philadelphia Union currently sit 11 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 61' Kyle Smith has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 2 goals to his name this season.
- 66' It is a cagey affair so far. Philadelphia Union in their 4-3-1-2 trying to find a way past Orlando City SC's compact 4-2-3-1.
- 70' Gaston Gonzalez has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ivan Angulo on 70 minute.
- 72' The Philadelphia Union manager makes a substitution. Mikael Uhre departs to be replaced by Matthew Real.
- 77' Philadelphia Union is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 80' The crowd applauds Ramiro Enrique as he leaves the pitch. Duncan McGuire steps in for Orlando City SC.
- 84' Orlando City SC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Dagur Dan Thorhallsson is hanging Mauricio Pereira on the field on 84 minute.
- 88' Controversy at the stadium! Kai Wagner argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- With this win, Orlando City SC is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
