Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. New York City FC get us underway at BMO Stadium.
  • 5' Los Angeles FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 8' A change in the New York City FC ranks — Tayvon Gray exits the field as Mitja Ilenic enters on 8.
  • 13' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 18' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 23' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Nathan Ordaz made 286 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 28' Los Angeles FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 33' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 38' With 1 assists to his name this season, Hannes Wolf is clearly more than just a goal scorer for New York City FC.
  • 42' The referee shows New York City FC player a card on 42.
  • 45' That looks like a foul for a card for Monsef Bakrar.
  • 50' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 55' Los Angeles FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined New York City FC backline.
  • 57' Nathan Ordaz was booked on 57.
  • 60' Andres Perea is ready to make an impact after coming on for Maxi Moralez at the 60 minute mark.
  • 61' The whistle greets Nathan Ordaz as he departs to be replaced by Esteban David Martinez.
  • 66' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 71' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 74' The supporters are chanting for Julian Fernandez. He replaces Hannes Wolf on 74 minute.
  • 75' The whistle greets Strahinja Tanasijevic as he departs to be replaced by Thiago Martins.
  • 76' The whistle greets Jeremy Ebobisse as he departs to be replaced by Olivier Giroud.
  • 81' It looks surprising Los Angeles FC does not make any changes. Marlon has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 86' GOAL! Ryan Hollingshead scores on 86.
  • Full Time. Los Angeles FC beats New York City FC
