Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Portland Timbers kicks off things out of here…
- 5' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Portland Timbers side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 10' Austin FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Oleksandr Svatok scoring 1 goals.
- 15' Portland Timbers are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Austin FC backline.
- 17' A stunning finish from Cristhian Paredes — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 22' 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 Jaroslaw Niezgoda suffering a number of foals already.
- 27' Dario Zuparic has been relatively quiet despite scoring 2 goals in his last 16 appearances.
- 32' With 0 assists to his name this season, Aedan Stanley is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Portland Timbers.
- 37' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 42' A quiet spell here at Providence Park. Portland Timbers seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 46' What a moment for Jaroslaw Niezgoda! That strike on 45 puts his side firmly in control.
- 46' Cecilio Dominguez is replacing Moussa Djitte for the Austin FC side.
- 47' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Sebastian Berhalter.
- 52' The home supporters are growing impatient. Portland Timbers must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 53' What a strike from Sebastian Blanco! The score is 3-0.
- 58' Jared Stroud is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Austin FC so far.
- 63' Sebastian Berhalter makes way for Freddy Kleemann at the 63 minute mark. A tactical switch from Austin FC.
- 68' A change in the Portland Timbers ranks — Jaroslaw Niezgoda exits the field as Dairon Asprilla enters on 68.
- 73' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 78' It looks surprising Austin FC does not make any changes. Zan Kolmanic has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 82' Portland Timbers manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Marvin Loria is hanging Yimmi Chara on the field on 82 minute.
- 83' Austin FC make a change. Jared Stroud trudges off to be replaced by Gavin Wolff on 83 minutes.
- 87' Fresh legs for Austin FC! Aedan Stanley comes on to replace Zan Kolmanic.
