- 5' The 31-year-old Franco Escobar has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 10' It looks like no one’s ball. Atlanta United FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 15' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 20' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 25' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 30' Juan Agudelo has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 10 cards already picked up this season.
- 35' Brad Guzan, a USA , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 40' 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.
- 42' Poor challenge from Wilfried Zahibo. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 43' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Josef Martinez.
- 48' Both keepers have barely been tested. Atlanta United FC and New England Revolution are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 53' It’s a booking for Atlanta United FC player. Leandro Gonzalez Pirez gets a Yellow card.
- 58' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Jeff Larentowicz.
- 63' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Atlanta United FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 65' A change in the Atlanta United FC ranks — Justin Meram exits the field as Hector Villalba enters on 65.
- 70' GOAL! Franco Escobar scores on 70. Assisted by Ezequiel Barco
- 75' Atlanta United FC is showing some good football. However, Atlanta United FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 76' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Antonio Delamea Mlinar on 76 minutes.
- 80' Another substitution for New England Revolution to replace Wilfried Zahibo by Diego Fagundez on 80 minute.
- 85' New England Revolution manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Juan Agudelo is hanging Antonio Delamea Mlinar on the field on 85 minute.

- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-0.
