0' In just a few seconds will turn into a battlefield for Chicago Fire FC and New York City FC.
5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Bastian Schweinsteiger made 295 appearances and scored 11 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
10' Sebastien Ibeagha needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
15' Both keepers have barely been tested. Chicago Fire FC and New York City FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
20' New York City FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
25' Richard Sanchez has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
30' It looks like no one’s ball. Chicago Fire FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.

55' It’s high time Veljko Paunovic made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
60' It looks surprising Chicago Fire FC does not make any changes. Diego Campos has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
65' 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.
70' Chicago Fire FC have won 427 goals from 295 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
75' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
80' 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.
85' Nemanja Nikolics is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Chicago Fire FC so far.
90' Over 90 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
