Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Lumen Field. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
- 10' Michael Halliday has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 15 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 15' It looks like no one’s ball. Orlando City SC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 20' A meaty challenge results in booking for Jackson Ragen on 20.
- 25' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 30' 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 Kyle Smith suffering a number of foals already.
- 35' 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.
- 40' Orlando City SC 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.
- 41' Facundo Torres Perez is having his name booked by the referee on 41.
- 46' It looks surprising Orlando City SC does not make any changes. Wilder Cartagena has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

- 59' That looks like a foul for a card for Cesar Araujo.
- 61' It’s a booking for Seattle Sounders FC player. Cody Baker gets a card.
- 66' Supporters expect more eagerness from Martin Ojeda, as he is very good at scoring at Lumen Field with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 70' It is a substitution in Orlando City SC team. Duncan McGuire is replaced by Ramiro Enrique on 70 minute.
- 71' Kyle Smith has so much to prove this time. He replaces Michael Halliday on 71 minute.
- 76' It’s high time made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
