Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at . The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' Sebastian Blanco has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 14 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 10' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Montreal Impact FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 15' Lawrence Olum needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 20' 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.
- 25' Montreal Impact FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Daniel Rios scoring 1 goals.
- 30' It looks like no one’s ball. Montreal Impact FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 35' Montreal Impact 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.
- 40' Portland Timbers started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 40.
- 45' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Montreal Impact FC that had 279 games and scored 377 goals.
- 50' The travelling Montreal Impact FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 55' 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.
- 60' It’s high time Giovanni Savarese made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 65' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 70' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Montreal Impact FC winning 100% of all matches.
- 75' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 75 minutes.
- 80' It looks surprising Montreal Impact FC does not make any changes. Evan Bush has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 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 Shamit Shome suffering a number of foals already.
- 90' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jukka Raitala made 279 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- The final score is 2-2.
