Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Los Angeles Galaxy gets underway.
- 5' 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 Malte Amundsen suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' Valentin Castellanos has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 15' Nicolas Acevedo was booked on 15.
- 20' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 25' Maxi Moralez has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 15 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 30' New York City FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 35' Marky Delgado has been relatively quiet despite scoring 18 goals in his last 280 appearances.
- 40' New York City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 40.
- 41' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Douglas Costa.
- 46' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Greg Vanney will be considering his options from the bench.
- 51' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 54' A moment of madness from Malte Amundsen on 54 minutes earns him a Yellow card. New York City FC will be frustrated.
- 59' 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.
- 63' New York City FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Thiago is hanging Talles Magno on the field on 63 minute.
- 67' The whistle greets Douglas Costa as he departs to be replaced by Efrain Alvarez.
- 72' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 75' New York City FC make a change. Santiago Rodriguez trudges off to be replaced by Andres Jasson on 75 minutes.
- 80' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 81' Fresh legs for Los Angeles Galaxy! Sacha Kljestan comes on to replace Victor Vazquez.
- 86' New York City FC looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
- 90' New York City FC ring the changes. Tayvon Gray has done his job and it is now time for Heber to step up.
- 90' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Alexander Callens on 90 minutes.
- 90' Javier Hernandez makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and Los Angeles Galaxy are in front.
- That’s it! Another goalless match for Los Angeles Galaxy and New York City FC (для сухой ничьи).
