- 9' The travelling Atlanta United FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 14' Toronto FC are deployed in a 4-3-3 today, looking to exploit space against Atlanta United FC's 4-2-3-1 shape.

- 24' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Toronto FC and Atlanta United FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 29' Richie Laryea needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 36 Yellow cards this season.
- 34' Supporters expect more eagerness from Luiz Araujo, as he is very good at scoring at BMO Field with 2 goals in the last 2 games.
- 39' It is a cagey affair so far. Toronto FC in their 4-3-3 trying to find a way past Atlanta United FC's compact 4-2-3-1.
- 42' What a moment for Richie Laryea! That strike on 42 puts his side firmly in control.
- 46' Another change for Toronto FC made on 46 minute. Alonso Coello Camarero leaves to be changed by Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty.

- 60' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Atlanta United FC that had 292 games and scored 439 goals.
- 64' Poor challenge from Federico Bernardeschi. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 65' The Atlanta United FC bench stirs into life. Amar Sejdic is withdrawn and Machop Chol gets his opportunity.
- 70' It’s high time Bob Bradley made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 75' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 76' A stunning finish from Machop Chol — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 77' Machop Chol has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 77.
- 77' Time for substitution for Toronto FC. Raoul Petretta is replaced by Lorenzo Insigne.
- 82' Toronto FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 83' Atlanta United FC make a change. Derrick Etienne trudges off to be replaced by Luis Abram on 83 minutes.
