Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Providence Park!
- 5' Clint Irwin is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Portland Timbers so far.
- 10' Felipe Mora needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 1 Red cards this season.
- 15' Portland Timbers are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 20' Claudio Bravo has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 25' Santiago Moreno has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 14 appearances with only 2 goals this season.
- 29' Bongokuhle Hlongwane puts Minnesota United FC on the lead.
- 34' The energy levels are beginning to show. Eric Ramsay might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 38' Sang-bin Jeong doubles the advantage! 0-2 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 43' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 46' Eric Miller is replacing Zac McGraw for the Portland Timbers side.
- 51' Eryk Williamson has been relatively quiet despite scoring 6 goals in his last 287 appearances.
- 53' Evander doubles the advantage! 1-2 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 58' Minnesota United FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 63' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 68' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Portland Timbers and Minnesota United FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 70' A change in the Portland Timbers ranks — Claudio Bravo exits the field as Antony enters on 70.
- 73' Santiago Moreno doubles the advantage! 2-2 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 75' Another substitution for Portland Timbers to replace Juan Mosquera by Dairon Asprilla on 75 minute.
- 80' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Portland Timbers side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 85' 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 Joseph Rosales suffering a number of foals already.
- 87' GOAL! Antony fires home to make it 3-2!
- 90' Cristhian Paredes is replacing Felipe Mora for the Portland Timbers side.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Portland Timbers players.
