Events
Match Events
- 0' Temperatures are rising at Gillette Stadium as New England Revolution face off against Montreal Impact FC in what promises to be a fascinating contest.
- 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Tajon Buchanan made 284 appearances and scored 19 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 6' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Gustavo Bou.
- 11' Both keepers have barely been tested. New England Revolution and Montreal Impact FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 16' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering New England Revolution that had 284 games and scored 410 goals.
- 20' Thomas McNamara picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 25' Andrew Farrell has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 2 cards already picked up this season.
- 30' Luis Binks has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 35' New England Revolution 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.
- 38' New England Revolution is taking the lead after the goal scored by Carles Gil on 38.

- 63' The supporters are chanting for Lee Nguyen. He replaces Thomas McNamara on 63 minute.
- 68' It looks surprising New England Revolution does not make any changes. Anthony Jackson-Hamel has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 73' New England Revolution is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 78' Clement Diop, a Senegal , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
