Events

Match Events

0' KICK OFF: Minnesota United FC gets underway.
5' Claudio Bravo has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 2 cards already picked up this season.
10' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Portland Timbers needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
15' Wil Trapp has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
20' Minnesota United FC 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.
25' A quiet spell here at Providence Park. Portland Timbers seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
30' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
35' Over 35 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
40' Minnesota United FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
43' Claudio Bravo catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 43.
48' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
53' Minnesota United FC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
58' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
61' Dairon Asprilla has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 61 minutes.
66' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Portland Timbers and Minnesota United FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
71' Luis Amarilla needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
72' It is a substitution in Portland Timbers team. Sebastian Blanco is replaced by Jaroslaw Niezgoda on 72 minute.
77' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 77 minutes.
82' Portland Timbers is showing some good football. However, Portland Timbers are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
84' Cristhian Paredes has so much to prove this time. He replaces Eryk Williamson on 84 minute.
85' Zac McGraw has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 85.
86' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Zac McGraw.
88' The referee has no hesitation. Kemar Lawrence is booked for Minnesota United FC — Yellow card on 88.
90' Minnesota United FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Niko Hansen is hanging Brent Kallman on the field on 90 minute.
Minnesota United FC will have plenty to reflect on. Portland Timbers were simply the better side today.
