Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Citypark. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 4' Magnificent from Tim Parker! That is 12 goals in 283 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 9' Colorado Rapids SC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 11' Against the run of play, Jared Stroud has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 16' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 21' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. St. Louis City needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 26' Colorado Rapids SC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 31' South Africa international Njabulo Blom has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 36' It looks like no one’s ball. Colorado Rapids SC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.

- 46' Another change for Colorado Rapids SC made on 46 minute. Steven Beitashour leaves to be changed by Lalas Abubakar.
- 51' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 56' Connor Ronan has been relatively quiet despite scoring 11 goals in his last 65 appearances.
- 61' 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 Lalas Abubakar suffering a number of foals already.
- 66' The 27-year-old Samuel Adeniran has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.

- 85' St. Louis 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.
- 87' Another change for St. Louis City made on 87 minute. Aziel Jackson leaves to be changed by Miguel Perez.
- What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — St. Louis City 2-0 Colorado Rapids SC.
