- 35' Portland Timbers 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.
- 39' It’s a booking for Portland Timbers player. Zac McGraw gets a card.
- 42' Another change for Austin FC made on 42 minute. Julio Cascante leaves to be changed by Oleksandr Svatok.
