Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Seattle Sounders FC to score. At the same time, St. Louis City does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' 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 Conrad Wallem suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' The home supporters are growing impatient. Seattle Sounders FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 15' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Brian Schmetzer will be considering his options from the bench.
- 20' Hassani Dotson, a USA , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 22' What composure from Cristian Roldan! The USA international strokes it home. 1-0.
- 27' St. Louis City started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 27.
- 32' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 3-4-3 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 37' Magnificent from Cristian Roldan! That is 39 goals in 295 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 42' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering St. Louis City that had 128 games and scored 199 goals.
- 46' Paul Rothrock is ready to make an impact after coming on for Paul Arriola at the 46 minute mark.
- 49' The Slovakia Albert Rusnak breaks the deadlock on 49 minutes. 3-0!
- 53' The crowd applauds Albert Rusnak as he leaves the pitch. Jesus Ferreira steps in for Seattle Sounders FC.
- 58' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Seattle Sounders FC winning 100% of all matches.
- 60' Seattle Sounders FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Peter Kingston is hanging Alex Roldan on the field on 60 minute.
- 62' Fresh legs for St. Louis City! Tomas Totland comes on to replace Rafael Santos.
- 67' The energy levels are beginning to show. Brian Schmetzer might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 72' Simon Becher is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Seattle Sounders FC so far.
- 77' Danny Musovski needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 8 Yellow cards this season.
- 80' Seattle Sounders FC ring the changes. Danny Musovski has done his job and it is now time for Osaze De Rosario to step up.
- 81' Brendan McSorley has so much to prove this time. He replaces Conrad Wallem on 81 minute.
- 86' Osaze De Rosario adds to his 2 season tally! Seattle Sounders FC lead 4-0 — and this changes everything.
