Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to TQL Stadium that hosts another battle between FC Cincinnati and New York City FC.
  • 5' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 10' 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 Hannes Wolf suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' Corey Baird has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 17 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 20' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Luciano Acosta.
  • 25' The travelling New York City FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 30' Supporters expect more eagerness from Luciano Acosta, as he is very good at scoring at TQL Stadium with 29 goals in the last 27 games.
  • 35' Both keepers have barely been tested. FC Cincinnati and New York City FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 40' New York City FC is showing some good football. However, New York City FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 45' It’s a booking for New York City FC player. Andres Perea gets a card.
  • 50' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 52' Justin Haak is ready to make an impact after coming on for Birk Risa at the 52 minute mark.
  • 57' Against the run of play, Luciano Acosta has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 62' Over 62 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 67' A change in the New York City FC ranks — Hannes Wolf exits the field as Alonso Martinez enters on 67.
  • 72' It looks surprising FC Cincinnati does not make any changes. Matt Miazga has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 73' FC Cincinnati ring the changes. Kipp Keller has done his job and it is now time for Nick Hagglund to step up.
  • 78' New York City FC ring the changes. Kevin O'Toole has done his job and it is now time for Agustin Ojeda to step up.
  • 82' FC Cincinnati manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Sergio Santos is hanging Corey Baird on the field on 82 minute.
  • 87' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Cincinnati that had 248 games and scored 361 goals.
  • 88' It is a substitution in FC Cincinnati team. Luca Orellano is replaced by Malik Pinto on 88 minute.
  • 90' The FC Cincinnati bench stirs into life. Aaron Boupendza is withdrawn and Gerardo Valenzuela gets his opportunity.
  • Another three points for FC Cincinnati.
