Match Events

0' It’s Showtime! The match between New York City FC and Atlanta United FC is underway.
5' Atlanta United FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
10' 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.
12' Santiago Sosa is having his name booked by the referee on 12.
17' 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.
22' George Bello is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Atlanta United FC tonight.
27' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
32' The home supporters are growing impatient. New York City FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
37' 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.
42' 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 Santiago Sosa suffering a number of foals already.
45' The referee has no hesitation. Ezequiel Barco is booked for Atlanta United FC — Yellow card on 45.
50' New York City FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
55' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Erik Lopez.

74' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
79' 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.
81' Jurgen Damm gets the nod from Atlanta United FC. He replaces Jake Mulraney and will look to change the dynamic.
86' 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.
87' New York City FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Alfredo Morales is hanging Ismael Tajouri-Shradi on the field on 87 minute.
88' The New York City FC bench stirs into life. Ismael Tajouri-Shradi is withdrawn and Alfredo Morales gets his opportunity.
