Events

Match Events

0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. New England Revolution is hosting Sporting Kansas City for another epic battle.
5' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-3-3 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
10' Noel Buck has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 5 cards already picked up this season.
15' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
20' Sporting Kansas City receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 20.
25' 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 Esmir Bajraktarevic suffering a number of foals already.
30' Sporting Kansas City started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 30.
31' New England Revolution is taking the lead after the goal scored by Giacomo Vrioni on 31.
35' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Giacomo Vrioni makes no mistake. 2-0!
40' Sporting Kansas City fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
45' The travelling Sporting Kansas City supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
50' A goal from the Scotland international Johnny Russell! He fires home on 50 to make it 2-1!
55' 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.
60' The energy levels are beginning to show. Peter Vermes might look to freshen things up shortly.
61' That is a Red card for Sporting Kansas City. Andreu Fontas will be fuming at that decision.
64' Fresh legs for New England Revolution! Justin Rennicks comes on to replace Esmir Bajraktarevic.
67' The Sporting Kansas City manager makes a substitution. Roger Espinoza departs to be replaced by Felipe Hernandez.
72' New England Revolution currently sit 3 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
74' The New England Revolution bench stirs into life. Emmanuel Boateng is withdrawn and Damian Rivera gets his opportunity.
79' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Bruce Arena will be considering his options from the bench.
84' Both keepers have barely been tested. New England Revolution and Sporting Kansas City are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
86' A change in the Sporting Kansas City ranks — Erik Thommy exits the field as Chris Rindov enters on 86.
89' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Robert Voloder on 89 minutes.
90' A tactical swap from New England Revolution — Jack Panayotou on, Giacomo Vrioni off on 90 minutes.
2-1 the final result. Sporting Kansas City will be bitterly disappointed.
