Events
Match Events
- 0' The wait is over. New York City FC get us underway at Citi Field.
- 5' It’s high time Nick Cushing made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 10' New York City FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Colorado Rapids SC backline.
- 15' Julian Fernandez has been relatively quiet despite scoring 9 goals in his last 195 appearances.
- 16' Rafael Navarro does the damage! The net is bulging and Colorado Rapids SC surge ahead!
- 20' Oliver Larraz has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 20.

- 42' USA international Sam Vines has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 47' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 52' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
