Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Toronto FC gets underway.
  • 5' The travelling Real Salt Lake supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 10' 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.
  • 15' Raoul Petretta has been relatively quiet despite scoring 2 goals in his last 172 appearances.
  • 20' Toronto FC is showing some good football. However, Toronto FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 21' A meaty challenge results in booking for Aime Mabika on 21.
  • 26' Real Salt Lake fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 31' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 36' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 41' It looks surprising Real Salt Lake does not make any changes. Justen Glad has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 46' A change in the Toronto FC ranks — Lorenzo Insigne exits the field as Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty enters on 46.
  • 51' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 56' The crowd applauds Kosi Thompson as he leaves the pitch. Deandre Kerr steps in for Toronto FC.
  • 61' Toronto FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Real Salt Lake backline.
  • 64' The whistle greets Mark-Anthony Kaye as he departs to be replaced by Alonso Coello Camarero.
  • 69' named a 4-4-2 earlier, and opted for a 4-4-2 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 74' Lorenzo Insigne needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 2 Red cards this season.
  • 78' Ayo Akinola is ready to make an impact after coming on for C.J. Sapong at the 78 minute mark.
  • 83' Jefferson Savarino is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Toronto FC tonight.
  • 86' Controversy at the stadium! Ilijah Paul argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 90' A tactical swap from Real Salt Lake — Bryan Oviedo on, Jefferson Savarino off on 90 minutes.
  • It finishes all square. Toronto FC and Real Salt Lake share the spoils 0-1.
