Events

Match Events

  • 0' And we are off! United States vs Paraguay — let the football do the talking.
  • 5' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 10' The travelling Paraguay supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 15' Orlando Gill is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Paraguay so far.
  • 20' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 25' Supporters expect more eagerness from Damian Bobadilla, as he is very good at scoring at SoFi Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Folarin Balogun made 414 appearances and scored 44 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 35' Paraguay has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 1 meetings.
  • 40' Andres Cubas has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 21 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 45' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 50' With 0 assists to his name this season, Diego Gomez is clearly more than just a goal scorer for United States.
  • 55' Tim Ream needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 60' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 65' United States are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against Paraguay's 4-4-2 shape.
  • 70' Paraguay have won 13 goals from 14 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 75' Alex Freeman is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for United States tonight.
  • 80' 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 Malik Tillman suffering a number of foals already.
  • 85' Over 85 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 90' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • The referee brings this contest to a close. take all three points.
