Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Nashville SC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Nashville SC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 10' 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 Eryk Williamson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Nashville SC that had 211 games and scored 305 goals.
  • 18' Felipe Mora puts Portland Timbers on the lead.
  • 21' What a strike from Jonathan Rodriguez! The score is 2-0.
  • 24' What a strike from Jonathan Rodriguez! The score is 3-0.
  • 29' Goal! Eryk Williamson scores his 6 goal in 287 matches.
  • 34' 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.
  • 35' It’s gonna be a card for Brian Anunga.
  • 40' Joe Willis has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 14 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 45' 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.
  • 46' The whistle greets David Ayala as he departs to be replaced by Antony.
  • 47' The supporters are chanting for Josh Bauer. He replaces Daniel Lovitz on 47 minute.
  • 52' It’s high time Rumba Munthali made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 57' Portland Timbers is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 62' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 63' The Portland Timbers manager makes a substitution. Dario Zuparic departs to be replaced by Zac McGraw.
  • 68' 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.
  • 73' It looks like no one’s ball. Portland Timbers is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 76' The whistle greets Santiago Moreno as he departs to be replaced by Cristhian Paredes.
  • 77' It is a substitution in Nashville SC team. Walker Zimmerman is replaced by Brent Kallman on 77 minute.
  • 78' The whistle greets Hany Mukhtar as he departs to be replaced by Tyler Boyd.
  • 82' What a strike from Sam Surridge! The score is 4-1.
  • 86' Portland Timbers manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Victor Enriquez is hanging Eryk Williamson on the field on 86 minute.
