Events
Match Events
- 0' Welcome to BMO Field that hosts another battle between Toronto FC and Real Salt Lake.
- 5' It looks surprising Toronto FC does not make any changes. Danny Musovski has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 10' 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 Zac MacMath suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
- 20' It’s high time made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 21' A meaty challenge results in booking for Aime Mabika on 21.
- 26' The travelling Real Salt Lake supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 31' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Real Salt Lake that had 280 games and scored 417 goals.
- 36' 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.
- 41' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 46' It is a substitution in Toronto FC team. Lorenzo Insigne is replaced by Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty on 46 minute.
- 51' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Brayan Vera made 190 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 56' Toronto FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Deandre Kerr is hanging Kosi Thompson on the field on 56 minute.
- 61' Real Salt Lake started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 61.
- 64' The whistle greets Mark-Anthony Kaye as he departs to be replaced by Alonso Coello Camarero.
- 69' Supporters expect more eagerness from Andrew Brody, as he is very good at scoring at BMO Field with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 74' 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.
- 78' Toronto FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ayo Akinola is hanging C.J. Sapong on the field on 78 minute.
- 83' Lazar Stefanovic needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 86' Ilijah Paul is having his name booked by the referee on 86.
- 90' Bryan Oviedo is replacing Jefferson Savarino for the Real Salt Lake side.
- Full Time. Real Salt Lake beats Toronto FC
