Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Real Salt Lake kicks off things out of here…
- 5' 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 Aidan Morris suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Real Salt Lake needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 13' It’s a booking for Real Salt Lake player. Matt Crooks gets a card.
- 18' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Columbus Crew SC that had 262 games and scored 393 goals.
- 22' Philip Quinton was booked on 22.
- 27' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 32' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Brayan Vera made 177 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

- 40' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 45' The referee shows Real Salt Lake player a card on 45.
- 46' Emeka Eneli was booked on 46.
- 51' It looks like no one’s ball. Columbus Crew SC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 56' 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.
