- 5' It looks surprising Portland Timbers does not make any changes. Eric Miller has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 10' Portland Timbers 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.
- 15' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 20' It looks like no one’s ball. St. Louis City is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 25' Cristhian Paredes needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 30' The home supporters are growing impatient. St. Louis City must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 35' Germany international Eduard Lowen has been a key figure this campaign — 2 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.

- 45' The referee has no hesitation. Anthony Markanich is booked for St. Louis City — card on 45.
- 50' Joshua Yaro gets the nod from St. Louis City. He replaces Joakim Nilsson and will look to change the dynamic.

- 70' The crowd applauds Indiana Vassilev as he leaves the pitch. Aziel Jackson steps in for St. Louis City.

- 79' The whistle greets Santiago Moreno as he departs to be replaced by Eric Miller.
- 80' It is a substitution in Portland Timbers team. David Ayala is replaced by Eryk Williamson on 80 minute.
