Events

Match Events

0' KICK OFF: St. Louis City gets underway.
5' Sporting Kansas City is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
10' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with St. Louis City winning 50% of all matches.
15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sporting Kansas City that had 294 games and scored 453 goals.
20' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
25' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both St. Louis City and Sporting Kansas City are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
30' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
33' Cedric Teuchert adds to his 0 season tally! St. Louis City lead 1-0 — and this changes everything.
38' It looks surprising Sporting Kansas City does not make any changes. Memo Rodriguez has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
39' Controversy at the stadium! Klauss argues furiously but the card stands.
44' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Roman Burki made 527 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
45' Poor challenge from Dany Rosero. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
50' 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.
54' Rasmus Alm does the damage! The net is bulging and St. Louis City surge ahead!
58' A tactical swap from Sporting Kansas City — Logan Ndenbe on, Tim Leibold off on 58 minutes.
59' Remi Walter makes way for Khiry Shelton at the 59 minute mark. A tactical switch from Sporting Kansas City.
61' Nokkvi THorisson is replacing Rasmus Alm for the St. Louis City side.
63' GOAL! Stephen Afrira scores on 63. Assisted by Jake Davis
68' A quiet spell here at Citypark. Sporting Kansas City seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
73' Willy Agada has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 1 cards already picked up this season.
75' Assisted by Cedric Teuchert with the perfectly-timed delivery and Eduard Lowen makes no mistake. 3-1!
77' St. Louis City make a change. Klauss trudges off to be replaced by Simon Becher on 77 minutes.
78' Alan Pulido is replacing Willy Agada for the Sporting Kansas City side.
80' A moment of madness from Cedric Teuchert on 80 minutes earns him a card. St. Louis City will be frustrated.
84' St. Louis City ring the changes. Kyle Hiebert has done his job and it is now time for Joakim Nilsson to step up.
86' A meaty challenge results in booking for Jannes-Kilian Horn on 86.
The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Sporting Kansas City.
