- 15' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with New England Revolution winning 100% of all matches.
- 20' 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 Ethan Kohler suffering a number of foals already.
- 25' 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.
- 30' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 35' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Johan Gomez made 287 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
