0' And we are off! Seattle Sounders FC vs Chicago Fire FC — let the football do the talking.
5' Jonathan Campbell has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 21 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
10' It looks like no one’s ball. Seattle Sounders FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
15' Seattle Sounders FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Chicago Fire FC backline.
20' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Veljko Paunovic will be considering his options from the bench.
25' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
30' Both keepers have barely been tested. Seattle Sounders FC and Chicago Fire FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
35' The travelling Chicago Fire FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
40' The home supporters are growing impatient. Seattle Sounders FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
45' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Chicago Fire FC that had 282 games and scored 403 goals.
50' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
55' Chicago Fire FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
60' Seattle Sounders FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
65' The 36-year-old Will Bruin has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
70' Aleksandar Katai has been relatively quiet despite scoring 43 goals in his last 282 appearances.
75' Supporters expect more eagerness from Brandon Vincent, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
80' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
85' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
90' Bastian Schweinsteiger has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
The final score is 1-1.
