Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: New York City FC gets underway.
- 5' New York City FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Andres Perea on 5.
- 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Austin FC that had 188 games and scored 263 goals.
- 13' Another substitution for New York City FC to replace Tayvon Gray by Mitja Ilenic on 13 minute.
- 18' The travelling New York City FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 23' Supporters expect more eagerness from Alonso Martinez, as he is very good at scoring at Q2 Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 28' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 33' It looks surprising New York City FC does not make any changes. Brendan Hines-Ike has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 38' Jon Gallagher needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 16 Yellow cards this season.
- 43' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 45' It’s gonna be a card for Jon Gallagher.
- 46' The supporters are chanting for Justin Haak. He replaces Kevin O'Toole on 46 minute.
- 51' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 51 minutes.
- 52' What a strike from Gyasi Zardes! The score is 1-1.
- 57' It’s high time Josh Wolff made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 62' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. New York City FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 67' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 68' Julio Cascante is replacing Leo Vaisanen for the Austin FC side.
- 69' GOAL! Gyasi Zardes scores on 69. Assisted by Owen Wolff
- 74' 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 Strahinja Tanasijevic suffering a number of foals already.
- 77' Another substitution for New York City FC to replace Alonso Martinez by Monsef Bakrar on 77 minute.
- 82' Austin 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.
- 83' The whistle greets Keaton Parks as he departs to be replaced by Jovan Mijatovic.
- 88' New York City FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 89' The Austin FC manager makes a substitution. Alexander Ring departs to be replaced by Matt Hedges.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-1.
