30' New York City FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
35' 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 Tommy Smith suffering a number of foals already.
40' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Colorado Rapids SC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
45' Danny Wilson has been relatively quiet despite scoring 7 goals in his last 291 appearances.

65' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
70' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with New York City FC winning 100% of all matches.
75' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
80' New York City 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.
85' Over 85 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
90' It’s high time Anthony Hudson made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
