0' KICK OFF: St. Louis City gets underway.
5' St. Louis City currently sit 8 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
10' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Peter Vermes will be considering his options from the bench.
15' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
19' Eduard Lowen has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 19 minutes.
24' Roger Espinoza is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Sporting Kansas City so far.
25' Indiana Vassilev makes no mistake. The score reads 2-0 and St. Louis City are in front.
28' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Gadi Kinda.
30' Jakob Nerwinski has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 30.
35' St. Louis City has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.

42' The referee calls foul for Daniel Salloi. He receives a Yellow card.
46' Fresh legs for Sporting Kansas City! Erik Thommy comes on to replace Gadi Kinda.

63' The crowd applauds Graham Zusi as he leaves the pitch. Jacob Davis steps in for Sporting Kansas City.
68' 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.
69' A tactical swap from St. Louis City — Tomas Ostrak on, Jared Stroud off on 69 minutes.
74' Johnny Russell has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
