Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Sporting Kansas City kicks off things out of here…
- 2' Seattle Sounders FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Paul Rothrock on 2.
- 7' Seattle Sounders FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 12' Jayden Reid needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 17' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 17 minutes.
- 18' What an equalizer from Dejan Joveljic!
- 23' It looks like no one’s ball. Seattle Sounders FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 28' Seattle Sounders FC looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Paul Rothrock scoring 1 goals.
- 31' The referee calls foul for Jackson Ragen. He receives a card.
- 36' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Seattle Sounders FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 41' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 46' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Seattle Sounders FC winning 0% of all matches.
- 51' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 56' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sporting Kansas City that had 261 games and scored 400 goals.
- 61' It looks surprising Seattle Sounders FC does not make any changes. Ethan Bartlow has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 66' Sporting Kansas City 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.
- 71' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 76' 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 Lasse Berg Johnsen suffering a number of foals already.
- 81' It’s high time Raphaël Wicky made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 86' 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.
- 90' That looks like a foul for a card for Hassani Dotson.
- The final score is 1-1.
