Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Snapdragon Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 13' What a strike from Max Arfsten! The score is 0-1.
- 18' Supporters expect more eagerness from Luca Bombino, as he is very good at scoring at Snapdragon Stadium with 2 goals in the last 2 games.
- 23' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 23 minutes.
- 28' San Diego FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 31' Tomas Angel was booked on 31.
- 33' The referee calls foul for Sean Zawadzki. He receives a card.
- 38' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Columbus Crew SC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 43' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 46' The supporters are chanting for Onni Valakari. He replaces Marcus Ingvartsen on 46 minute.
- 51' It looks surprising San Diego FC does not make any changes. Paddy McNair has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 56' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. DeJuan Jones made 281 appearances and scored 10 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 61' Columbus Crew SC receives a card for a hard tackle on 61.
- 66' Time for substitution for Columbus Crew SC. Jacen Russell-Rowe is replaced by Marcelo Herrera.
- 67' Time for substitution for San Diego FC. Tomas Angel is replaced by Alejandro Alvarado Jr.
- 69' Goal! Onni Valakari scores his 4 goal in 3 matches.
- 74' 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 Jasper Loffelsend suffering a number of foals already.
- 79' San Diego FC is showing some good football. However, San Diego FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 83' Franco Negri is replacing Luca Bombino for the San Diego FC side.
- 88' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 89' It is a substitution in Columbus Crew SC team. DeJuan Jones is replaced by Aziel Jackson on 89 minute.
- 90' That looks like a foul for a card for Dylan Chambost.
- The final score is 1-1.
