Events
Match Events
- 0' Welcome to BMO Field that hosts another battle between Toronto FC and St. Louis City.
- 5' Toronto FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
- 10' 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.
- 15' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 20' It looks surprising St. Louis City does not make any changes. Jared Stroud has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 25' 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.
- 30' The travelling St. Louis City supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 35' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 38' The referee calls foul for Njabulo Blom. He receives a card.
- 43' 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.
- 47' Tim Parker was booked on 47.
- 50' GOAL! Aziel Jackson scores on 50. Assisted by Akil Watts
- 55' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Mark-Anthony Kaye made 285 appearances and scored 19 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 57' Alonso Coello Camarero has so much to prove this time. He replaces Brandon Servania on 57 minute.
- 62' It looks like no one’s ball. St. Louis City is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 67' 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 Tomas Romero suffering a number of foals already.
- 68' Time for substitution for St. Louis City. Indiana Vassilev is replaced by Miguel Perez.
- 72' The Toronto FC manager makes a substitution. Ayo Akinola departs to be replaced by Jesus Batiz.
- 77' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.

- 83' It is a substitution in Toronto FC team. Deandre Kerr is replaced by Jordan Perruzza on 83 minute.

- 89' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 89 minutes.
- 90' The referee calls foul for Themi Antonoglou. He receives a card.
- 90' Isak Jensen is replacing Jared Stroud for the St. Louis City side.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for St. Louis City players.
