Events

Match Events

  • 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — United States and Paraguay get this one started.
  • 5' It is a cagey affair so far. United States in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past Paraguay's compact 4-4-2.
  • 10' Paraguay has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 1 meetings.
  • 15' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 20' Matt Freese, a USA , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 25' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 30' Weston McKennie has been relatively quiet despite scoring 25 goals in his last 410 appearances.
  • 35' Paraguay are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 40' Antonee Robinson has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 45' Paraguay is showing some good football. However, Paraguay are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 50' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Mauricio Pochettino will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 55' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 60' United States have won 16 goals from 9 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 65' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Tyler Adams made 293 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 70' Andres Cubas has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 26 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 75' United States started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 75.
  • 80' The energy levels are beginning to show. Mauricio Pochettino might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 85' It looks surprising United States does not make any changes. Folarin Balogun has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 90' Paraguay come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
