Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. New York Red Bulls get us underway at Lower.com Field.
  • 5' 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.
  • 7' Christian Casseres Jr. makes no mistake. The score reads 0-1 and New York Red Bulls are in front.
  • 12' 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.
  • 16' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Patryk Klimala.
  • 18' Miguel Berry adds to his 0 season tally! Columbus Crew SC lead 1-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 23' 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 Jonathan Mensah suffering a number of foals already.
  • 28' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 33' Supporters expect more eagerness from Derrick Etienne, as he is very good at scoring at Lower.com Field with 6 goals in the last 5 games.
  • 38' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Columbus Crew SC and New York Red Bulls are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 43' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Columbus Crew SC that had 291 games and scored 434 goals.

  • 61' A quiet spell here at Lower.com Field. New York Red Bulls seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 66' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Caleb Porter will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 70' Dru Yearwood has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 70.
  • 73' Another substitution for Columbus Crew SC to replace Derrick Etienne by Alexandru Matan on 73 minute.
  • 77' The supporters are chanting for John Tolkin. He replaces Fabio on 77 minute.
  • 82' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
