Match Events

- 15' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 20' 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 Boris Enow Takang suffering a number of foals already.
- 23' GOAL! Johnny Russell scores on 23. Assisted by Diogo Goncalves
- 28' 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.

- 38' Real Salt Lake started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 38.
- 43' It looks like no one’s ball. D.C. United SC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.

- 62' It’s gonna be a card for Dom Badji.
- 62' Time for substitution for D.C. United SC. Garrison Tubbs is replaced by Derek Dodson.
- 67' D.C. United SC 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.
