Match Events

0' New York City FC have kicked off against Atlanta United FC. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
5' Mikey Ambrose is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Atlanta United FC so far.
10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
15' 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.
20' David Villa has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
25' New York City FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
30' Franco Escobar has been relatively quiet despite scoring 12 goals in his last 303 appearances.
35' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Patrick Vieira will be considering his options from the bench.
40' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
45' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
50' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
55' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Miguel Almiron made 303 appearances and scored 67 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
60' New York City FC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 2 meetings.
65' Romario Williams, a Jamaica , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
70' Atlanta United FC 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.
75' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with New York City FC winning 50% of all matches.
80' Ben Sweat has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
85' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
90' New York City FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Andres Perea scoring 1 goals.
The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
