Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Yankee Stadium will turn into a battlefield for New York City FC and Columbus Crew SC.
- 5' Over 5 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 9' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Talles Magno makes no mistake. 1-0!
- 10' Talles Magno with the second goal in the match!
- 15' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 18' Maxi Moralez was booked on 18.
- 23' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 23 minutes.
- 28' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 33' 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.
- 38' Both keepers have barely been tested. New York City FC and Columbus Crew SC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 43' It looks like no one’s ball. Columbus Crew SC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 48' Columbus Crew SC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 53' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both New York City FC and Columbus Crew SC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 57' A goal from the Argentina international Valentin Castellanos! He fires home on 57 to make it 3-0!
- 57' Time for substitution for Columbus Crew SC. James Igbekeme is replaced by Luis Diaz.
- 62' 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 Yaw Yeboah suffering a number of foals already.
- 63' A tactical swap from New York City FC — Thiago on, Gabriel Pereira off on 63 minutes.
- 68' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Ronny Deila will be considering his options from the bench.
- 72' A tactical swap from Columbus Crew SC — Erik Hurtado on, Miguel Berry off on 72 minutes.
- 77' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Nicolas Acevedo made 305 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 80' Maxi Moralez makes way for Andres Jasson at the 80 minute mark. A tactical switch from New York City FC.
- 81' Columbus Crew SC make a change. Derrick Etienne trudges off to be replaced by Yaw Yeboah on 81 minutes.
- 84' A moment of madness from Keaton Parks on 84 minutes earns him a Yellow card. New York City FC will be frustrated.
- 86' Jonathan Mensah has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 86.
- 90' New York City FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-0.
