Events

Match Events

5' What composure from Chris Duvall! The United States international strokes it home. 1-0.
10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
15' Marvin Loria has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 7 cards already picked up this season.
20' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Brian Schmetzer will be considering his options from the bench.
25' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Portland Timbers winning 100% of all matches.
30' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
35' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Portland Timbers side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
40' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
45' Supporters expect more eagerness from Joao Paulo, as he is very good at scoring at Providence Park with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
50' Jorge Villafana has been relatively quiet despite scoring 2 goals in his last 291 appearances.
55' 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.
60' Andy Polo has so much to prove this time. He replaces Marvin Loria on 60 minute.
65' Jeremy Ebobisse has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
70' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Seattle Sounders FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
72' A goal from the Peru international Raul Ruidiaz! He fires home on 72 to make it 1-1!
73' Jaroslaw Niezgoda is ready to make an impact after coming on for Jeremy Ebobisse at the 73 minute mark.
74' Seattle Sounders FC make a change. Joao Paulo trudges off to be replaced by Nouhou Tolo on 74 minutes.
79' Portland Timbers are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
81' Fresh legs for Seattle Sounders FC! Handwalla Bwana comes on to replace Jordan Morris.
83' What composure from Raul Ruidiaz! The Peru international strokes it home. 1-2.
85' Kelvin Leerdam has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 85 minutes.
87' Miguel Ibarra is ready to make an impact after coming on for Raul Ruidiaz at the 87 minute mark.
88' Seattle Sounders FC make a change. Cristian Roldan trudges off to be replaced by Alex Roldan on 88 minutes.
Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 0-3 draw is a fair result on the day.
