Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Children's Mercy Park!
- 5' Alan Pulido needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 6 Yellow cards this season.
- 10' A quiet spell here at Children's Mercy Park. Sporting Kansas City seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 15' named a 4-3-3 earlier, and opted for a 3-4-3 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 20' Roger Espinoza is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Sporting Kansas City tonight.
- 25' Montreal Impact FC is showing some good football. However, Montreal Impact FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 27' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Victor Wanyama.
- 30' Poor challenge from Daniel Rosero. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 35' What a strike from Bryce Duke! The score is 0-1.
- 40' Erik Thommy has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 1 cards already picked up this season.
- 45' The travelling Montreal Impact FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 46' GOAL! Mathieu Choiniere scores on 45.
- 46' It is a substitution in Sporting Kansas City team. Robert Voloder is replaced by Robert Castellanos on 46 minute.
- 51' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.

- 62' The whistle greets Erik Thommy as he departs to be replaced by Gadi Kinda.
- 65' Joel Waterman is having his name booked by the referee on 65.
- 70' 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 George Campbell suffering a number of foals already.
- 75' Montreal Impact FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Matthias Saliba is hanging Sean Rea on the field on 75 minute.
- 80' Sporting Kansas City are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Montreal Impact FC backline.
