Events

Match Events

0' And we are off! Chicago Fire FC vs New York Red Bulls — let the football do the talking.
5' It looks surprising Chicago Fire FC does not make any changes. Kyle Duncan has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
10' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
15' Ryan Meara has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering New York Red Bulls that had 296 games and scored 431 goals.
25' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jason Pendant made 336 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
30' The 34-year-old Boris Sekulic has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
35' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
39' Magnificent from Kyle Duncan! That is 9 goals in 296 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
44' Jonathan Bornstein is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Chicago Fire FC tonight.
49' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
51' Robert Beric does the damage! The net is bulging and Chicago Fire FC surge ahead!
54' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Dru Yearwood.
56' Caden Clark is replacing Samuel Tetteh for the New York Red Bulls side.
61' Chicago Fire FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined New York Red Bulls backline.
66' 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 Francisco Calvo suffering a number of foals already.
70' The whistle greets Dru Yearwood as he departs to be replaced by Cristian Casseres.
72' Przemyslaw Frankowski doubles the advantage! 2-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
77' Tom Barlow needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
78' A change in the New York Red Bulls ranks — Sean Davis exits the field as Brian White enters on 78.
79' New York Red Bulls receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 79.
80' Chicago Fire FC make a change. Fabian Herbers trudges off to be replaced by Miguel Navarro on 80 minutes.
85' New York Red Bulls fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
90' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
The final score is 2-2.
