Events

Match Events

  • 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Seattle Sounders FC to score. At the same time, Chicago Fire FC does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 10' The travelling Chicago Fire FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 15' Seattle Sounders FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.

  • 25' The home supporters are growing impatient. Seattle Sounders FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 30' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 60' 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.
  • 65' The 30-year-old Diego Campos has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 70' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 70 minutes.
  • 75' The energy levels are beginning to show. Brian Schmetzer might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 80' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
