Events

Match Events

  • 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Atlanta United FC and New York City FC get this one started.
  • 5' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Domenec Torrent will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 10' Franco Escobar has been relatively quiet despite scoring 12 goals in his last 287 appearances.
  • 15' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 20' It’s high time Domenec Torrent made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 25' 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 Valentin Castellanos suffering a number of foals already.
  • 30' 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.
  • 35' 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.
  • 40' Kevin Kratz has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 45' Sean Johnson, a USA , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 50' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 55' Atlanta United FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against New York City FC's shape.
  • 60' New York City FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 65' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering New York City FC that had 289 games and scored 459 goals.
  • 70' Michael Parkhurst needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 75' Alexander Callens has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 80' It looks surprising New York City FC does not make any changes. Leandro Gonzalez Pirez has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 85' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 90' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
