Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Providence Park!
- 5' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 10' A quiet spell here at Providence Park. Portland Timbers seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 15' It looks like no one’s ball. Austin FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 20' Portland Timbers started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
- 25' The travelling Austin FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 30' Portland Timbers are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Austin FC's shape.
- 35' The energy levels are beginning to show. Josh Wolff might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 40' Austin FC have won 266 goals from 191 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 45' 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 Cristhian Paredes suffering a number of foals already.
- 49' Cecilio Dominguez was booked on 49.
- 50' It’s a booking for Austin FC player. Sebastian Driussi gets a Yellow card.
- 54' The referee shows Portland Timbers player a Yellow card on 54.
- 57' That is a Yellow card for Portland Timbers. Cristhian Paredes will be fuming at that decision.
- 60' Daniel Pereira is having his name booked by the referee on 60.
- 62' Bill Tuiloma has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 62 minutes.
- 66' It is a substitution in Austin FC team. Zan Kolmanic is replaced by Jon Gallagher on 66 minute.
- 71' Moussa Djitte is replacing Maximiliano Urruti for the Austin FC side.
- 74' Time for substitution for Austin FC. Cecilio Dominguez is replaced by Rodney Redes.
- 75' Fresh legs for Portland Timbers! Sebastian Blanco comes on to replace Dairon Asprilla.
- 80' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 85' Portland Timbers are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Austin FC backline.
- 90' Jhojan Valencia was booked on 90.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Portland Timbers players.
