- 1' What a moment for Fabio! That strike on 1 puts his side firmly in control.
- 6' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 11' The home supporters are growing impatient. Nashville SC must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 14' That is a Yellow card for New York Red Bulls. Sean Davis will be fuming at that decision.
- 19' The travelling New York Red Bulls supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 24' Nashville SC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 29' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering New York Red Bulls that had 283 games and scored 418 goals.
- 34' A quiet spell here at Nissan Stadium. New York Red Bulls seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 37' GOAL! Hany Mukhtar fires home to make it 1-1!
- 38' Sensational shot from Hany Mukhtar. Nashville SC is back in the lead.
- 43' New York Red Bulls started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 43.
- 48' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?

- 55' John Tolkin makes way for Kyle Duncan at the 55 minute mark. A tactical switch from New York Red Bulls.
- 60' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Nashville SC and New York Red Bulls are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 65' 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 Jack Maher suffering a number of foals already.
