Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds will turn into a battlefield for Philadelphia Union and Toronto FC.
- 5' Ager Aketxe needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 10' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Philadelphia Union side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 15' Both keepers have barely been tested. Philadelphia Union and Toronto FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 20' It looks like no one’s ball. Philadelphia Union is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 25' Toronto FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 30' It looks surprising Philadelphia Union does not make any changes. Michael Bradley has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 35' Alex Bono has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 22 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 40' 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.
- 45' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 50' C.J. Sapong has been relatively quiet despite scoring 25 goals in his last 293 appearances.
- 55' With 1 assists to his name this season, Fafa Picault is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Toronto FC.
- 60' 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.
- 65' The 35-year-old Nicolas Hasler has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 70' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jason Hernandez made 288 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 75' Toronto FC 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.
- 80' Jonathan Osorio has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 85' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Greg Vanney will be considering his options from the bench.
- 90' The home supporters are growing impatient. Philadelphia Union must find a spark to ignite this game.
- What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — Philadelphia Union 0-2 Toronto FC.
