Events

Match Events

0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for New York City FC to score. At the same time, Atlanta United FC does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
5' Both keepers have barely been tested. New York City FC and Atlanta United FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
10' 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.
15' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
20' Atlanta United FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
25' New York City FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Atlanta United FC's shape.
30' Kevin Kratz has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
35' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
40' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
45' Alexander Callens has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
50' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering New York City FC that had 294 games and scored 463 goals.
55' 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 Michael Parkhurst suffering a number of foals already.
60' New York City FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
65' Alexander Ring has been relatively quiet despite scoring 24 goals in his last 294 appearances.
70' 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.
75' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
80' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both New York City FC and Atlanta United FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
85' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Patrick Vieira will be considering his options from the bench.
90' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Atlanta United FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
