Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Nashville SC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jeisson Palacios, as he is very good at scoring at Snapdragon Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 15' It looks surprising Nashville SC does not make any changes. Ahmed Qasem has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 18' Nashville SC receives a card for a hard tackle on 18.
- 23' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. San Diego FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 28' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 32' It’s a booking for Nashville SC player. Jeisson Palacios gets a card.
- 37' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Nashville SC that had 211 games and scored 305 goals.
- 42' Jonathan Perez has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 15 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 47' 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 Patrick Yazbek suffering a number of foals already.
- 52' Nashville SC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 53' San Diego FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Hirving Lozano on 53.
- 58' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 62' The Nashville SC manager makes a substitution. Jonathan Perez departs to be replaced by Jacob Shaffelburg.
- 66' The supporters are chanting for Anibal Godoy. He replaces Tomas Angel on 66 minute.
- 69' It’s a booking for Nashville SC player. Daniel Lovitz gets a card.
- 70' It’s a booking for San Diego FC player. Luca Bombino gets a card.
- 72' It is a substitution in Nashville SC team. Sam Surridge is replaced by Teal Bunbury on 72 minute.
- 76' The San Diego FC manager makes a substitution. Hirving Lozano departs to be replaced by Emmanuel Boateng.
- 81' 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.
- 86' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 88' That looks like a foul for a card for Jeppe Tverskov.
- 90' Nashville SC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Julian Gaines is hanging Andy Najar on the field on 90 minute.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-0.
