Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Portland Timbers gets underway.
  • 5' Philadelphia Union are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Portland Timbers's shape.
  • 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jamiro made 434 appearances and scored 9 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' It looks surprising Philadelphia Union does not make any changes. Kai Wagner has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 20' Brian Fernandez needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 22' The referee has no hesitation. Steve Clark is booked for Portland Timbers — Yellow card on 22.
  • 27' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 31' What a moment for Brian Fernandez! That strike on 31 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 36' GOAL! Brian Fernandez fires home to make it 0-2!
  • 41' Brenden Aaronson, a USA , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 46' A change in the Philadelphia Union ranks — Brenden Aaronson exits the field as Ilsinho enters on 46.
  • 47' What a strike from Kacper Przybylko! The score is 1-2.
  • 52' 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 Zarek Valentin suffering a number of foals already.
  • 57' Portland Timbers is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 60' Portland Timbers ring the changes. Jeremy Ebobisse has done his job and it is now time for Sebastian Blanco to step up.
  • 65' Portland Timbers is showing some good football. However, Portland Timbers are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 67' It is a substitution in Philadelphia Union team. Fafa Picault is replaced by Sergio Santos on 67 minute.
  • 72' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 77' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 81' Time for substitution for Philadelphia Union. Ray Gaddis is replaced by Michee Ngalina.
  • 85' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Jack Elliott.
  • 87' A goal from the Argentina international Diego Valeri! He fires home on 87 to make it 1-3!
  • 88' Eryk Williamson is replacing Diego Valeri for the Portland Timbers side.
  • 90' The referee shows Portland Timbers player a Yellow card on 90.
  • It finishes all square. Philadelphia Union and Portland Timbers share the spoils 1-3.
