Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Montreal Impact FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Montreal Impact FC winning 100% of all matches.
- 10' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 15' Dawid Bugaj has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 291 appearances.
- 18' Magnificent from Prince-Osei Owusu! That is 33 goals in 257 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 23' It looks like no one’s ball. New York City FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 28' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 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' Supporters expect more eagerness from Nicolas Fernandez Marcau, as he is very good at scoring at Stade Saputo with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 43' Both keepers have barely been tested. Montreal Impact FC and New York City FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 46' Montreal Impact FC ring the changes. Noah Streit has done his job and it is now time for Olger Escobar to step up.
- 51' New York City FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 56' Ivan Jaime Pajuelo is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Montreal Impact FC so far.
- 61' 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 Kevin O'Toole suffering a number of foals already.
- 63' The referee has no hesitation. Samuel Piette is booked for Montreal Impact FC — card on 63.
- 65' New York City FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Raul Gustavo is hanging Keaton Parks on the field on 65 minute.
- 70' Fabian Herbers has so much to prove this time. He replaces Samuel Piette on 70 minute.
- 74' The referee has no hesitation. Tayvon Gray is booked for New York City FC — card on 74.
- 75' Prince-Osei Owusu makes way for Daniel Rios at the 75 minute mark. A tactical switch from Montreal Impact FC.
- 77' The referee shows New York City FC player a card on 77.
- 81' The referee shows New York City FC player a card on 81.
- 82' New York City FC ring the changes. Maxi Moralez has done his job and it is now time for Andres Perea to step up.
- 84' The referee has no hesitation. Brayan Vera is booked for Montreal Impact FC — card on 84.
- 87' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Matthew Longstaff.
- 87' Efrain Morales gets the nod from Montreal Impact FC. He replaces Jalen Neal and will look to change the dynamic.
- 88' The referee shows Montreal Impact FC player a card on 88.
- 90' That is a card for New York City FC. Kai Trewin will be fuming at that decision.
- The final score is 1-0.
