Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at BMO Stadium!
- 5' Los Angeles FC 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.
- 8' The New York City FC manager makes a substitution. Tayvon Gray departs to be replaced by Mitja Ilenic.
- 13' New York City FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 18' 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.
- 23' 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.
- 28' Yaw Yeboah, a Ghana , has 7 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 33' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering New York City FC that had 297 games and scored 466 goals.
- 38' Los Angeles FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 42' It’s gonna be a card for Keaton Parks.
- 45' Monsef Bakrar was booked on 45.
- 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 Marlon suffering a number of foals already.
- 55' Los Angeles FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 57' Nathan Ordaz has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 57.
- 60' New York City FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Andres Perea is hanging Maxi Moralez on the field on 60 minute.
- 61' The Los Angeles FC manager makes a substitution. Nathan Ordaz departs to be replaced by Esteban David Martinez.
- 66' Hugo Lloris has been relatively quiet despite scoring 1 goals in his last 390 appearances.
- 71' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 74' The crowd applauds Hannes Wolf as he leaves the pitch. Julian Fernandez steps in for New York City FC.
- 75' Thiago Martins gets the nod from New York City FC. He replaces Strahinja Tanasijevic and will look to change the dynamic.
- 76' Olivier Giroud has so much to prove this time. He replaces Jeremy Ebobisse on 76 minute.
- 81' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 86' A goal from the USA international Ryan Hollingshead! He fires home on 86 to make it 1-0!
- The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from Los Angeles FC to claim maximum points.
