Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at !
- 5' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 10' 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.
- 15' Philadelphia Union are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Toronto FC's shape.
- 20' Nicolas Hasler is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Toronto FC tonight.
- 25' Ryan Telfer has been relatively quiet despite scoring 2 goals in his last 284 appearances.
- 30' The home supporters are growing impatient. Philadelphia Union must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 35' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Philadelphia Union that had 289 games and scored 484 goals.
- 40' A quiet spell here at . Toronto FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 45' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 50' Philadelphia Union 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.
- 55' The 27-year-old Auston Trusty has been sensational this season — 1 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 60' Jason Hernandez needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 65' It looks surprising Toronto FC does not make any changes. Gregory van der Wiel has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 70' Toronto FC looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Josh Sargent scoring 1 goals.
- 75' Philadelphia Union are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Toronto FC backline.
- 80' 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 Borek Dockal suffering a number of foals already.
- 85' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 90' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 90 minutes.
- Full Time. Toronto FC beats Philadelphia Union
