- 3' Indiana Vassilev does the damage! The net is bulging and St. Louis City surge ahead!
- 8' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering St. Louis City that had 136 games and scored 213 goals.
- 13' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. St. Louis City needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 18' Real Salt Lake currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 23' Supporters expect more eagerness from Rasmus Alm, as he is very good at scoring at Rio Tinto Stadium with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
- 28' Real Salt Lake receives a card for a hard tackle on 28.
- 30' A meaty challenge results in booking for Anthony Markanich on 30.
- 35' The energy levels are beginning to show. Pablo Mastroeni might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 40' Anderson Julio is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for St. Louis City tonight.
- 45' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Real Salt Lake and St. Louis City are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 50' Real Salt Lake has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 2 meetings.
- 55' Cristian Arango needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 1 Red cards this season.
- 56' The crowd applauds Bode Davis as he leaves the pitch. Carlos Gomez steps in for Real Salt Lake.
- 61' With 1 assists to his name this season, Nokkvi THorisson is clearly more than just a goal scorer for St. Louis City.
- 66' Both keepers have barely been tested. Real Salt Lake and St. Louis City are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 68' A tactical swap from Real Salt Lake — Diego Luna on, Matt Crooks off on 68 minutes.
- 70' What a moment for Cristian Arango! That strike on 70 puts his side firmly in control.
- 75' 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 Brayan Vera suffering a number of foals already.
- 76' Real Salt Lake ring the changes. Anderson Julio has done his job and it is now time for Maikel Chang to step up.
- 77' Tomas Ostrak is replacing Aziel Jackson for the St. Louis City side.

- 84' Goal! Cristian Arango scores his 73 goal in 172 matches.
- 88' St. Louis City manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Nokkvi THorisson is hanging Chris Durkin on the field on 88 minute.
- 90' That is a card for St. Louis City. Tim Parker will be fuming at that decision.
- The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for St. Louis City.
