  • 5' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 10' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 15' Diego Luna does the damage! The net is bulging and Real Salt Lake surge ahead!
  • 20' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 21' Magnificent from Nicholas Gioacchini! That is 17 goals in 399 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 26' 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.
  • 29' Jared Stroud is having his name booked by the referee on 29.
  • 30' That looks like a foul for a card for Tomas Ostrak.
  • 35' A quiet spell here at Citypark. Real Salt Lake seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 40' St. Louis City is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 45' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Real Salt Lake winning 0% of all matches.
  • 46' A tactical swap from Real Salt Lake — Maikel Chang on, Bertin Jacquesson off on 46 minutes.
  • 47' Jake Nerwinski was booked on 47.
  • 48' A goal from the Croatia international Damir Kreilach! He fires home on 48 to make it 1-2!
  • 53' 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 Brayan Vera suffering a number of foals already.
  • 54' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Brayan Vera.
  • 55' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Lucas Bartlett on 55 minutes.

  • 80' Joshua Yaro is ready to make an impact after coming on for Lucas Bartlett at the 80 minute mark.
  • 83' Diego Luna makes way for Moses Nyeman at the 83 minute mark. A tactical switch from Real Salt Lake.
  • 88' Danny Musovski is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for St. Louis City tonight.
