Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. Real Salt Lake host Sporting Kansas City — let the battle begin!
  • 5' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 10' Real Salt Lake are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 15' Sporting Kansas City started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
  • 20' Sporting Kansas City are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 25' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 30' 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.
  • 35' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 40' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 45' 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 Jefferson Savarino suffering a number of foals already.
  • 50' 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.
  • 55' Daniel Salloi, a Hungary , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 60' 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.
  • 65' Both keepers have barely been tested. Real Salt Lake and Sporting Kansas City are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 70' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 75' Real Salt Lake are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Sporting Kansas City's shape.
  • 80' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 85' The energy levels are beginning to show. Mike Petke might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 90' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
