Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Providence Park!
  • 5' New York City FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 10' Andres Jasson has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 15' Portland Timbers have won 483 goals from 299 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 20' Both keepers have barely been tested. Portland Timbers and New York City FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 25' The travelling New York City FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 30' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 35' Tayvon Gray has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 26 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 38' GOAL! Evander fires home to make it 1-0!
  • 43' Marvin Loria has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 46' A change in the Portland Timbers ranks — Cristhian Paredes exits the field as Noel Caliskan enters on 46.
  • 50' Larrys Mabiala has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 50.
  • 51' What a strike from Keaton Parks! The score is 1-1.
  • 56' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 61' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kevin O'Toole made 297 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 66' Supporters expect more eagerness from Aljaz Ivacic, as he is very good at scoring at Providence Park with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 70' The referee calls foul for Claudio Bravo. He receives a card.
  • 75' 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 Diego Chara suffering a number of foals already.
  • 76' It is a substitution in Portland Timbers team. Marvin Loria is replaced by Felipe Mora on 76 minute.
  • 80' Stephen Turnbull is replacing Mitja Ilenic for the New York City FC side.
  • 85' A quiet spell here at Providence Park. New York City FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 86' Time for substitution for Portland Timbers. Franck Boli is replaced by Nathan.
  • 90' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Stephen Turnbull.
  • The final score is 1-1.
