Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at Providence Park. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Portland Timbers and Austin FC.
  • 5' Austin FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 10' Portland Timbers is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 15' The energy levels are beginning to show. Josh Wolff might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 20' Austin FC come into this ranked 24 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 25' 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.
  • 30' It looks surprising Portland Timbers does not make any changes. Evander has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 33' Dario Zuparic doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 38' 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 Claudio Bravo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 40' Franck Boli catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 40.
  • 45' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 50' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 55' The travelling Austin FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 56' The referee shows Portland Timbers player a Yellow card on 56.
  • 57' It’s a booking for Portland Timbers player. Claudio Bravo gets a Yellow card.
  • 59' What a strike from Jon Gallagher! The score is 1-1.
  • 60' The Portland Timbers manager makes a substitution. Marvin Loria departs to be replaced by Yimmi Chara.
  • 65' Both keepers have barely been tested. Portland Timbers and Austin FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 70' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Austin FC winning 100% of all matches.
  • 71' What a moment for Claudio Bravo! That strike on 71 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 74' The crowd applauds Julio Cascante as he leaves the pitch. Nick Lima steps in for Austin FC.
  • 78' A change in the Portland Timbers ranks — Franck Boli exits the field as Jaroslaw Niezgoda enters on 78.
  • 83' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 84' Ethan Finlay gets the nod from Austin FC. He replaces Adam Lundqvist and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 87' Dario Zuparic has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 87.
  • celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
