Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Soldier Field!
  • 5' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 10' The travelling New York Red Bulls supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 15' Tom Barlow is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for New York Red Bulls so far.
  • 20' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 25' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Chicago Fire FC that had 275 games and scored 393 goals.
  • 30' Supporters expect more eagerness from Djordje Mihailovic, as he is very good at scoring at Soldier Field with 3 goals in the last 3 games.
  • 35' 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 Brian White suffering a number of foals already.
  • 39' Kyle Duncan has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 39 minutes.
  • 44' 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.
  • 49' Caden Clark has been relatively quiet despite scoring 13 goals in his last 283 appearances.
  • 51' Assisted by Boris Sekulic with the perfectly-timed delivery and Robert Beric makes no mistake. 1-1!
  • 54' The referee has no hesitation. Dru Yearwood is booked for New York Red Bulls — Yellow card on 54.
  • 56' Caden Clark is ready to make an impact after coming on for Samuel Tetteh at the 56 minute mark.
  • 61' 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.
  • 66' Dru Yearwood has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 70' Another change for New York Red Bulls made on 70 minute. Dru Yearwood leaves to be changed by Cristian Casseres.
  • 72' The Poland Przemyslaw Frankowski breaks the deadlock on 72 minutes. 2-1!
  • 77' It looks surprising Chicago Fire FC does not make any changes. Francisco Calvo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 78' A tactical swap from New York Red Bulls — Brian White on, Sean Davis off on 78 minutes.
  • 79' Aaron Long was booked on 79.
  • 80' Fabian Herbers makes way for Miguel Navarro at the 80 minute mark. A tactical switch from Chicago Fire FC.
  • 85' It’s high time Gerhard Struber made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 90' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 90 minutes.
  • 2-2 the final result. will be bitterly disappointed.
