  • 31' The referee calls foul for Bryan Ramirez. He receives a card.
  • 36' 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 Dylan Nealis suffering a number of foals already.
  • 40' GOAL! Kevin Denkey fires home to make it 1-0!
  • 45' New York Red Bulls 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.
