  • 31' GOAL! Sergio Santos scores on 31.
  • 36' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 41' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?

  • 77' 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.
  • 79' The Portland Timbers manager makes a substitution. Felipe Mora departs to be replaced by Dairon Asprilla.
  • 84' Supporters expect more eagerness from Alejandro Bedoya, as he is very good at scoring at Subaru Park with 7 goals in the last 6 games.

  • 90' It is a substitution in Philadelphia Union team. Kacper Przybylko is replaced by Anthony Fontana on 90 minute.
