Events
Match Events
- 0' And we are off! Toronto FC vs Philadelphia Union — let the football do the talking.
- 5' GOAL! Sergio Santos fires home to make it 0-1!
- 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 20' The 31-year-old Marky Delgado has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 25' Toronto FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 30' Over 30 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 35' Philadelphia Union has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 1 meetings.
- 39' The Toronto FC bench stirs into life. Justin Morrow is withdrawn and Tony Gallacher gets his opportunity.
- 44' 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 Jose Andres Martinez suffering a number of foals already.
- 49' Chris Mavinga is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Philadelphia Union tonight.
- 53' Fresh legs for Toronto FC! Nick DeLeon comes on to replace Jozy Altidore.
- 58' Magnificent from Ayo Akinola! That is 16 goals in 280 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 63' Philadelphia Union seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 66' Brenden Aaronson makes way for Anthony Fontana at the 66 minute mark. A tactical switch from Philadelphia Union.
- 71' Sergio Santos makes way for Ilsinho at the 71 minute mark. A tactical switch from Philadelphia Union.
- 76' Against the run of play, Pozuelo has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 81' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 83' Jose Martinez has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 83.
- 86' A tactical swap from Toronto FC — Patrick Mullins on, Ayo Akinola off on 86 minutes.
- The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Philadelphia Union.
