Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Rio Tinto Stadium!
- 5' Orlando City SC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
- 10' Rafael Santos has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 15' Supporters expect more eagerness from Damir Kreilach, as he is very good at scoring at Rio Tinto Stadium with 15 goals in the last 13 games.
- 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 Kyle Smith suffering a number of foals already.
- 23' Real Salt Lake is taking the lead after the goal scored by Cristian Arango on 23.
- 28' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Real Salt Lake that had 296 games and scored 436 goals.
- 33' 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.
- 38' That is a card for Orlando City SC. Wilder Cartagena will be fuming at that decision.
- 41' Assisted by Pablo Ruiz with the perfectly-timed delivery and Justen Glad makes no mistake. 2-0!
- 46' It looks like no one’s ball. Orlando City SC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 51' Orlando City SC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 54' Diego Luna is having his name booked by the referee on 54.
- 58' Another substitution for Orlando City SC to replace Ivan Angulo by Martin Ojeda on 58 minute.
- 62' The referee shows Real Salt Lake player a card on 62.
- 65' Fresh legs for Orlando City SC! Ercan Kara comes on to replace Duncan McGuire.
- 69' Danny Musovski is replacing Cristian Arango for the Real Salt Lake side.
- 70' The referee has no hesitation. Brayan Vera is booked for Real Salt Lake — card on 70.
- 75' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Orlando City SC winning 100% of all matches.
- 76' The Orlando City SC manager makes a substitution. Facundo Torres Perez departs to be replaced by Luca Petrasso.
- 78' The Venezuela Jefferson Savarino breaks the deadlock on 78 minutes. 3-0!
- 83' The travelling Orlando City SC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 87' Carlos Gomez is replacing Damir Kreilach for the Real Salt Lake side.
- 89' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Anderson Julio makes it 4-0.
- The points are shared — Real Salt Lake 4-0 Orlando City SC. Honours even.
