Halftime
45+4 - Halftime Whistle. Defense is keeping everyone out of the net currently.
45+1’ - We will have at least 4 minutes of stoppage time here in the first half. It seems a little low with the two big stoppage times we have seen here in the first.

40’ - Zelarayan sends a free-kick into the box and it is headed out by the Union.

30’ - Foul is committed by Burke at the top of the box on a Columbus player by hitting the foot of the player and not the ball.

17’ - Save by Blake! Corner kick is sent in for the Crew and after delivery, someone from the Crew goes down in the box, and the ref points at the penalty spot.
15’ - Free kick for the Crew. It is close to the center of the pitch and about 35 yards out. Zelarayan sends it low and into the net, but it is not an issue for blake who scoops the ball.
13’ - Columbus’ Zelarayan shoots from distance and it goes right into the hands of Blake.
9’ - Corner kick here for the Union from the near flag. The sun is directly in the goalkeeper's eyes. The service goes directly into the middle of the box and there is no blue shirt in the area to get on it. The second chance ball is blown dead because of a foul by Flach.
5’ - Two crosses from the right into the box can’t find a Union player on the left, since no one is committed to running on that side.
1’ - Not even half a minute into the game and we get a stop after a high kick from Mensah hits Wagner. Columbus’ Mensah earns a yellow. The training staff is looking at Wagner after he got kicked in the head.
1’ - The game is now underway. The Union are in their dark blues and are attacking from right to left.
