Events

Match Events

0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Portland Timbers to score. At the same time, Philadelphia Union does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
5' It looks surprising Philadelphia Union does not make any changes. Keegan Rosenberry has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
10' Portland Timbers is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
15' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
20' Portland Timbers currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
25' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.
30' Fabinho has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 305 appearances.
35' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
40' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Lawrence Olum made 307 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
45' Supporters expect more eagerness from Auston Trusty, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
50' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
55' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
60' Marcus Epps has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
65' Fafa Picault has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 4 goals this season.
70' The 38-year-old Jeff Attinella has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
75' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Portland Timbers side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
80' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
85' Philadelphia Union are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
90' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Portland Timbers players.
