10' Tim Melia has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
15' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Portland Timbers winning 100% of all matches.
20' The energy levels are beginning to show. Giovanni Savarese might look to freshen things up shortly.
25' Matt Besler has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.

35' Roger Espinoza is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Sporting Kansas City tonight.
40' Portland Timbers has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
45' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
50' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
55' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Peter Vermes will be considering his options from the bench.

65' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
70' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Portland Timbers that had 291 games and scored 469 goals.
75' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
80' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
85' Sporting Kansas City are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Portland Timbers's shape.
90' It’s high time Giovanni Savarese made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
