- 0' Three points are at stake. Chicago Fire FC host New England Revolution — let the battle begin!
- 5' New England Revolution has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 2 of the last 2 meetings.

- 27' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Chicago Fire FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 32' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 37' 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 Aljaz Ivacic suffering a number of foals already.
- 42' Bosnia-Herzegovina international Esmir Bajraktarevic has been a key figure this campaign — 1 goals and 5 assists in the Array this season.
- 47' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with New England Revolution winning 100% of all matches.

- 65' Chicago Fire FC make a change. Chris Mueller trudges off to be replaced by Xherdan Shaqiri on 65 minutes.
- 70' 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.
- 72' It’s gonna be a card for Tomas Chancalay.
- 75' The crowd applauds Esmir Bajraktarevic as he leaves the pitch. Dylan Borrero steps in for New England Revolution.
