Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: New York Red Bulls gets underway.
- 1' Fabio puts New York Red Bulls on the lead.
- 6' Sean Nealis has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 27 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 11' Nashville SC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined New York Red Bulls backline.
- 14' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Sean Davis.
- 19' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 24' The energy levels are beginning to show. Gary Smith might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 29' New York Red Bulls is showing some good football. However, New York Red Bulls are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 34' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Nashville SC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 37' Magnificent from Hany Mukhtar! That is 100 goals in 17 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 38' Hany Mukhtar makes no mistake. The score reads 2-1 and Nashville SC are in front.
- 43' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 48' Andres Reyes has been relatively quiet despite scoring 8 goals in his last 226 appearances.
- 53' The 26-year-old Dru Yearwood has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 54' A tactical swap from New York Red Bulls — Kyle Duncan on, John Tolkin off on 54 minutes.
- 55' Kyle Duncan has so much to prove this time. He replaces John Tolkin on 55 minute.
- 60' Andrew Gutman has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 1 goals to his name this season.
- 65' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 70' 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 Kyle Duncan suffering a number of foals already.
- 71' A change in the Nashville SC ranks — Daniel Lovitz exits the field as Dax McCarty enters on 71.
- 72' Ake Arnaud Loba gets the nod from Nashville SC. He replaces Alex Muyl and will look to change the dynamic.
- 73' Another change for New York Red Bulls made on 73 minute. Caden Clark leaves to be changed by Omir Fernandez.
- 74' New York Red Bulls ring the changes. Caden Clark has done his job and it is now time for Omir Fernandez to step up.
- 76' Anibal Godoy catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 76.
- 81' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 83' Tom Barlow is replacing Fabio for the New York Red Bulls side.
- 86' Youba Diarra is having his name booked by the referee on 86.
- will have plenty to reflect on. were simply the better side today.
