Events

Match Events

0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Toronto FC and Columbus Crew SC has kicked off!
5' Columbus Crew SC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
10' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Toronto FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Columbus Crew SC that had 287 games and scored 430 goals.
20' Richie Laryea has been relatively quiet despite scoring 16 goals in his last 286 appearances.
25' Deandre Kerr doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
30' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Toronto FC and Columbus Crew SC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
32' That is a Yellow card for Columbus Crew SC. Philip Quinton will be fuming at that decision.
37' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
42' The 32-year-old Milos Degenek has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
47' Mohamed Farsi has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
52' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
57' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Toronto FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
60' Mark-Anthony Kaye has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 60.
61' Another substitution for Toronto FC to replace Deandre Kerr by Hugo Mbongue on 61 minute.
66' The referee calls foul for Aidan Morris. He receives a Yellow card.
71' The energy levels are beginning to show. Bob Bradley might look to freshen things up shortly.
73' It is a substitution in Columbus Crew SC team. Yaw Yeboah is replaced by Jimmy Medranda on 73 minute.
77' A stunning finish from Jimmy Medranda — that came from absolutely nowhere!
80' The referee calls foul for Matt Hedges. He receives a Yellow card.
85' Toronto FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
90' Another change for Columbus Crew SC made on 90 minute. Alexandru Matan leaves to be changed by Kevin Molino.
Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-1.
