5' Columbus Crew SC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined New York City FC backline.
10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Steven Moreira made 430 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

18' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
