Events

Match Events

0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — New York City FC and Chicago Fire FC get this one started.
5' Boris Sekulic has been relatively quiet despite scoring 6 goals in his last 22 appearances.
10' New York City FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Chicago Fire FC's shape.
15' Chicago Fire FC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 2 meetings.
20' Alexander Callens is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Chicago Fire FC so far.
23' What a moment for Heber! That strike on 23 puts his side firmly in control.
28' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Ronny Deila will be considering his options from the bench.
33' Both keepers have barely been tested. New York City FC and Chicago Fire FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
38' Thiago has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 1 cards already picked up this season.
43' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering New York City FC that had 305 games and scored 475 goals.
44' Talles Magno has so much to prove this time. He replaces Gabriel Pereira on 44 minute.
46' It’s a booking for New York City FC player. Nicolas Acevedo gets a Yellow card.
46' Chicago Fire FC ring the changes. Mauricio Pineda has done his job and it is now time for Carlos Teran to step up.
47' Nicolas Acevedo was booked on 47.
52' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 52 minutes.
55' Chicago Fire FC ring the changes. Jhon Duran has done his job and it is now time for Kacper Przybylko to step up.
60' 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 Nicolas Acevedo suffering a number of foals already.
63' Boris Sekulic is having his name booked by the referee on 63.
66' New York City FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Keaton Parks is hanging Maxi Moralez on the field on 66 minute.

87' Andres Jasson is ready to make an impact after coming on for Thiago at the 87 minute mark.
