- 15' Goal! Hassani Dotson scores his 19 goal in 289 matches.
- 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Dayne St. Clair made 289 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 25' It looks surprising Minnesota United FC does not make any changes. Magomed Suleymanov has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 30' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Sporting Kansas City winning 100% of all matches.

- 46' Fresh legs for Sporting Kansas City! Memo Rodriguez comes on to replace Zorhan Bassong.
- 51' Minnesota United FC is showing some good football. However, Minnesota United FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 56' Both keepers have barely been tested. Sporting Kansas City and Minnesota United FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.

- 88' Time for substitution for Sporting Kansas City. Jake Davis is replaced by Khiry Shelton.
