Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Philadelphia Union gets underway.
- 5' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Philadelphia Union winning 0% of all matches.
- 10' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 15' Philadelphia Union has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 1 meetings.
- 20' Alejandro Bedoya has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 25' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Toronto FC and Philadelphia Union are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 30' Philadelphia Union looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Milan Iloski scoring 1 goals.
- 35' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 40' Victor Vazquez is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Toronto FC tonight.
- 45' It looks surprising Philadelphia Union does not make any changes. Ilsinho has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 50' Cory Burke has been relatively quiet despite scoring 40 goals in his last 289 appearances.
- 55' 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 Gregory van der Wiel suffering a number of foals already.
- 60' Toronto FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Philadelphia Union backline.
- 65' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Toronto FC that had 284 games and scored 371 goals.
- 70' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Keegan Rosenberry made 289 appearances and scored 12 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 75' Toronto FC have won 371 goals from 284 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 80' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 85' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Toronto FC and Philadelphia Union are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 90' A quiet spell here at . Philadelphia Union seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- Game over. The scoreline of 3-0 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
