Match Events
- 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Charlotte FC is hosting New York City FC for another epic battle.
- 5' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with New York City FC winning 50% of all matches.
- 8' Nicolas Fernandez Marcau puts New York City FC on the lead.
- 13' Supporters expect more eagerness from Morrison Agyemang, as he is very good at scoring at Bank of America Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 18' David Schnegg needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 14 Yellow cards this season.
- 23' Nico Cavallo has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 15 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 28' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 29' New York City FC player sees a card in front of him.
- 34' It’s high time Dean Smith made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 39' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Charlotte FC that had 151 games and scored 221 goals.
- 44' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 49' 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.
- 54' New York City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 54.
- 59' 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 Kai Trewin suffering a number of foals already.
- 64' It looks surprising Charlotte FC does not make any changes. Thiago Martins has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 69' New York City FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Nicolas Fernandez Marcau scoring 2 goals.
- 74' Charlotte 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.
- 79' New York City FC is showing some good football. However, New York City FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 84' 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.
- 89' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-1.
