Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to Providence Park that hosts another battle between Portland Timbers and New York City FC.
  • 5' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 10' USA international Stephen Turnbull has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 15' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 20' The home supporters are growing impatient. Portland Timbers must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 25' It looks surprising New York City FC does not make any changes. Keaton Parks has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 30' 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 Evander suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 38' Magnificent from Evander! That is 55 goals in 288 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 43' Matt Freese has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 15 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 46' The Portland Timbers manager makes a substitution. Cristhian Paredes departs to be replaced by Noel Caliskan.
  • 50' Poor challenge from Larrys Mabiala. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 51' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Keaton Parks makes it 1-1.
  • 56' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 61' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 66' Maxime Chanot has been relatively quiet despite scoring 5 goals in his last 286 appearances.
  • 70' A meaty challenge results in booking for Claudio Bravo on 70.
  • 75' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 76' Felipe Mora gets the nod from Portland Timbers. He replaces Marvin Loria and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 80' Mitja Ilenic makes way for Stephen Turnbull at the 80 minute mark. A tactical switch from New York City FC.
  • 85' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering New York City FC that had 286 games and scored 454 goals.
  • 86' The supporters are chanting for Nathan. He replaces Franck Boli on 86 minute.
  • 90' Stephen Turnbull has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 90.
  • The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
