Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Portland Timbers and Colorado Rapids SC has kicked off!
  • 5' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 10' The 42-year-old Liam Ridgewell has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
  • 20' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Portland Timbers side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 25' It looks like no one’s ball. Colorado Rapids SC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 30' Enzo Martinez is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Colorado Rapids SC tonight.
  • 35' With 0 assists to his name this season, Kortne Ford is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Colorado Rapids SC.
  • 40' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jorge Villafana made 307 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 45' Portland Timbers started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 45.
  • 50' Colorado Rapids SC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 2 meetings.
  • 55' Colorado Rapids SC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 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 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 Edgar Castillo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 70' Tim Howard has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 75' Diego Chara needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 80' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 85' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 90' Jeremy Ebobisse, a USA , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • Colorado Rapids SC will have plenty to reflect on. Portland Timbers were simply the better side today.
