  • 33' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Portland Timbers and Real Salt Lake are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 37' Poor challenge from Braian Ojeda. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 42' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 47' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Real Salt Lake winning 50% of all matches.
