  • 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Marcelo Silva made 287 appearances and scored 9 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 9' The deadlock is broken! Jon Gallagher gets on the scoresheet on 9 minutes.
  • 14' Both keepers have barely been tested. Real Salt Lake and Austin FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 19' Austin FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.

  • 41' Damir Kreilach picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 46' 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 Gyasi Zardes suffering a number of foals already.
  • 51' Rubio Rubin has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 21 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 56' With 1 assists to his name this season, Emiliano Rigoni is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Austin FC.
