Events
Match Events
- 0' The wait is over. Atlanta United FC get us underway at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
- 5' Atlanta United FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against New England Revolution's shape.
- 10' 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.
- 15' 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 Juan Caicedo suffering a number of foals already.
- 20' Leandro Gonzalez Pirez has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 25' Michael Parkhurst, a United States , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 30' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 35' Gustavo Bou has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 40' New England Revolution has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 2 of the last 2 meetings.
- 42' Controversy at the stadium! Wilfried Zahibo argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- 43' Josef Martinez has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 43.
- 48' Over 48 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 53' The referee calls foul for Leandro Gonzalez Pirez. He receives a Yellow card.
- 58' That is a Yellow card for Atlanta United FC. Jeff Larentowicz will be fuming at that decision.
- 63' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Atlanta United FC that had 303 games and scored 454 goals.
- 65' Another substitution for Atlanta United FC to replace Justin Meram by Hector Villalba on 65 minute.
- 70' Atlanta United FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Franco Escobar on 70.
- 75' Andrew Farrell has been relatively quiet despite scoring 9 goals in his last 301 appearances.
- 76' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Antonio Delamea Mlinar.
- 80' The New England Revolution bench stirs into life. Wilfried Zahibo is withdrawn and Diego Fagundez gets his opportunity.
- 85' The crowd applauds Antonio Delamea Mlinar as he leaves the pitch. Juan Agudelo steps in for New England Revolution.
- 88' Another substitution for Atlanta United FC to replace Ezequiel Barco by Mo Adams on 88 minute.
- 1-0 the final result. New England Revolution will be bitterly disappointed.
