Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Sporting Kansas City gets underway.
  • 5' The travelling Sporting Kansas City supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 10' St. Louis City are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Sporting Kansas City backline.
  • 15' St. Louis City is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 20' With 0 assists to his name this season, Klauss is clearly more than just a goal scorer for St. Louis City.
  • 25' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.
  • 30' 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 Remi Walter suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' The energy levels are beginning to show. Bradley Carnell might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 40' St. Louis City is showing some good football. However, St. Louis City are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 41' A meaty challenge results in booking for Anthony Markanich on 41.
  • 46' It’s high time Bradley Carnell made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 51' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 56' Logan Ndenbe needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 61' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Bradley Carnell will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 64' The supporters are chanting for Nicholas Gioacchini. He replaces Aziel Jackson on 64 minute.
  • 67' Another change for Sporting Kansas City made on 67 minute. Felipe Gutierrez leaves to be changed by Remi Walter.
  • 72' named a 4-4-2 earlier, and opted for a 4-3-3 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 73' GOAL! Samuel Adeniran scores on 73. Assisted by Eduard Lowen
  • 75' What composure from Jared Stroud! The USA international strokes it home. 2-0.
  • 78' It is a substitution in Sporting Kansas City team. Nemanja Radoja is replaced by Gadi Kinda on 78 minute.
  • 80' GOAL! Klauss fires home to make it 3-0!
  • 85' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Klauss makes no mistake. 4-0!
  • 86' The Sporting Kansas City bench stirs into life. Erik Thommy is withdrawn and Willy Agada gets his opportunity.
  • 87' Tim Parker was booked on 87.
  • 89' Kyle Hiebert has so much to prove this time. He replaces Anthony Markanich on 89 minute.
  • 90' Tomas Ostrak is ready to make an impact after coming on for Eduard Lowen at the 90 minute mark.
  • Sporting Kansas City will have plenty to reflect on. St. Louis City were simply the better side today.
