Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Lower.com Field!
  • 5' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Columbus Crew SC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 10' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with New York City FC winning 100% of all matches.
  • 15' Birk Risa has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 20' Yevgen Cheberko has been relatively quiet despite scoring 1 goals in his last 287 appearances.
  • 25' Columbus Crew SC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 30' Evan Bush, a USA , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 35' Jonathan Shore is replacing Keaton Parks for the New York City FC side.
  • 40' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering New York City FC that had 289 games and scored 459 goals.
  • 45' Columbus Crew SC is showing some good football. However, Columbus Crew SC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 50' 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 Marcelo Herrera suffering a number of foals already.
  • 55' Columbus Crew SC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 55.
  • 58' New York City FC ring the changes. Julian Fernandez has done his job and it is now time for Agustin Ojeda to step up.
  • 63' Sean Zawadzki is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Columbus Crew SC tonight.
  • 66' Columbus Crew SC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Cole Mrowka is hanging Aziel Jackson on the field on 66 minute.
  • 71' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 73' Time for substitution for New York City FC. Hannes Wolf is replaced by Maximo Carrizo.
  • 78' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 83' Over 83 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 88' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — Columbus Crew SC 0-0 New York City FC.
