Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Real Salt Lake kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 10' The 26-year-old Carlos Harvey has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 2 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 12' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Zach Booth.
  • 15' A tactical swap from Real Salt Lake — Dominik Marczuk on, Zach Booth off on 15 minutes.
  • 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Minnesota United FC that had 292 games and scored 432 goals.
  • 25' Marcus Caldeira has been relatively quiet despite scoring 4 goals in his last 292 appearances.
  • 30' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 32' That looks like a foul for a card for Jefferson Diaz.
  • 37' Minnesota United FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 42' Rafael has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 4 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 46' Another change for Minnesota United FC made on 46 minute. Kyle Duncan leaves to be changed by Bongokuhle Hlongwane.
  • 51' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 56' It’s gonna be a card for Rodrigues Lineker.
  • 60' The whistle greets Rodrigues Lineker as he departs to be replaced by Saba Lobjanidze.
  • 65' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Real Salt Lake side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 70' Juan Sanabria, a Uruguay , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 71' Time for substitution for Minnesota United FC. Tomas Chancalay is replaced by Mauricio Gonzalez.
  • 76' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 81' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 82' Sergi Solans has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 82 minutes.
  • 86' Another change for Real Salt Lake made on 86 minute. Diego Luna leaves to be changed by Aiden Hezarkhani.
  • 87' Marcus Caldeira has so much to prove this time. He replaces Wil Trapp on 87 minute.
  • 89' The deadlock is broken! Joaquin Pereyra gets on the scoresheet on 89 minutes.
  • 90' It’s gonna be a card for Stijn Spierings.
  • celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
