Game Updates

90+4′- The ref has blown the whistle and the Union has added to their winning streak. The streak now stands at 9.

90+1′- The fourth official held up his board to show there will be at least 4 minutes of stoppage time.

88′- After the two get tangled up and fall to the ground, the ref shows Yellows to Miljevic and Martinez. Martinez came into this match one card away from a suspension. So with that yellow, he is out of Saturday’s game against San Jose.

81′-Montreal also makes another change bringing on Jabang for Corbo.

78′- Elliott gets a shot off and it allegedly follows the goal line before it gets cleared off.

77′- More changes for the U as Torres and Perea come on for Uhre and Flach.

76′- Montreal’s Thorkelsson is shown a yellow card for a hard tackle against Harriel. The replay shows the two get tangled up and as they go to the ground his leg gets caught under his body.

74′- Montreal corner from the near flag. The ball is played short and eventually Montreal gets a free kick. The ball that was sent into the penalty area was headed out. The second chance ball is sent back in but is wide of the net.

64′- Montreal makes a switch here bringing Rea on for Ibrahim.

63′- Curtin now making a double switch here Bueno is replaced by Martinez and Real gets replaced by Lowe.

61′- GOOAAALLLL for Carranza. His shot from outside takes two deflections off of Montreal players and dips into the net. It was a weird one but we will take what we get.

58′- Play is stopped as Flach is on the ground grabbing his ankle. He is up now and walking it off.

56′- Free kick for the Union, just below the center circle. However, the threat comes to a halt after Philly committed a foul.

46′- Second half underway. Montreal did make three changes to start the final 45.

HALF

45′- The ref has whistled for halftime.

35′- Carranza hits a shot from the right side of the box, which rebounds off the goalie. But Uhre makes a run to play cleanup and converts the shot into a goal. Union 2-0.

31′- CF Montreal’s Campbell is shown a yellow for taking down Bueno near the center circle.

30′- SAVE BY BLAKE! That is it. The man made yet another sensational save to keep Montreal off the board.

29′- Montreal is called for a handball. Union went with a quick restart and their latest chance ended in an offsides by a mistimed run by Gazdag.

24′- Another corner for the Union here. Wagner’s service is from the far flag. The in-swinging ball finds Harriel’s head, who sends it over the crossbar.

21′- Uhre’s chance is just a fraction off. Union are keeping up the pressure and are continuing to attack Montreal.

12′- WHAT A STRIKE from Carranza. The man gets the ball from Real, leans towards one direction, and from the top of the box curls the ball through the traffic. Union gets on the board first, 1-0.

10′- Harriel draws a foul near the sideline. Wagner crossed it in but it ended with a clearance by Montreal.

6′- Montreal wins the first corner of the evening. It is played short and the cross-in was headed out by the Union.

1′- The game is underway in Chester. The boys are in the dark blues and are protecting the River End here in the first half.
