0' Temperatures are rising at as Real Salt Lake face off against Colorado Rapids SC in what promises to be a fascinating contest.
5' Over 5 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
10' Real Salt Lake have won 420 goals from 283 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
15' 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 Tommy Smith suffering a number of foals already.
20' Colorado Rapids SC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 1 meetings.
25' It’s high time Anthony Hudson made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
30' Colorado Rapids SC looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Wayne Frederick scoring 1 goals.
35' It looks like no one’s ball. Real Salt Lake is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
40' Real Salt Lake 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.
45' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
50' Real Salt Lake started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 50.
55' Johan Blomberg is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Real Salt Lake tonight.
60' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
65' The energy levels are beginning to show. Mike Petke might look to freshen things up shortly.
70' Real Salt Lake is showing some good football. However, Real Salt Lake are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
75' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
80' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Real Salt Lake and Colorado Rapids SC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
85' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
90' Shkelzen Gashi has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
Another three points for Real Salt Lake.
