Match Events

0' Temperatures are rising at Lower.com Field as Columbus Crew SC face off against New York City FC in what promises to be a fascinating contest.
5' Columbus Crew SC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined New York City FC backline.
10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Columbus Crew SC that had 296 games and scored 442 goals.
15' Supporters expect more eagerness from Diego Rossi, as he is very good at scoring at Lower.com Field with 16 goals in the last 15 games.
20' New York City FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
25' New York City FC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 2 of the last 2 meetings.
30' A quiet spell here at Lower.com Field. Columbus Crew SC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
35' Another substitution for New York City FC to replace Keaton Parks by Jonathan Shore on 35 minute.
40' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kevin O'Toole made 298 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
45' Columbus Crew SC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
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 Jacen Russell-Rowe suffering a number of foals already.
55' Over 55 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
58' A tactical swap from New York City FC — Agustin Ojeda on, Julian Fernandez off on 58 minutes.
63' New York City FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
66' Aziel Jackson makes way for Cole Mrowka at the 66 minute mark. A tactical switch from Columbus Crew SC.
71' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
73' Maximo Carrizo has so much to prove this time. He replaces Hannes Wolf on 73 minute.
78' Columbus Crew SC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
83' The energy levels are beginning to show. Wilfried Nancy might look to freshen things up shortly.
88' New York City FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 0-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
