  • 40' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Oniel Fisher made 297 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 45' Luciano Acosta has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 3 goals to his name this season.
  • 50' Darren Mattocks, a Jamaica , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 55' 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.

  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 3-2 draw is a fair result on the day.
