Events

Match Events

0' We are underway at Red Bull Arena. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Alfredo Morales made 303 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
9' What a moment for Nigel Robertha! That strike on 9 puts his side firmly in control.
14' Adrien Perez has been relatively quiet despite scoring 1 goals in his last 294 appearances.
19' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. New York City FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
24' Luxembourg international Maxime Chanot has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
29' Bill Hamid needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
34' New York City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 34.
35' The whistle greets Moses Nyeman as he departs to be replaced by Felipe Martins.
37' It is a substitution in New York City FC team. Jesus Medina is replaced by Thiago on 37 minute.
42' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both New York City FC and D.C. United SC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
46' Keaton Parks gets the nod from New York City FC. He replaces Alfredo Morales and will look to change the dynamic.
51' It looks surprising New York City FC does not make any changes. James Sands has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
52' Joseph Mora has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 52.
57' A quiet spell here at Red Bull Arena. New York City FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
58' The D.C. United SC bench stirs into life. Yamil Asad is withdrawn and Adrien Perez gets his opportunity.
63' It looks like no one’s ball. New York City FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
68' Donovan Pines has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 22 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
69' Tony Alfaro is replacing Fredric Brillant for the D.C. United SC side.
70' Controversy at the stadium! Nigel Robertha argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
73' It is a substitution in New York City FC team. Ismael Tajouri-Shradi is replaced by Santiago Rodriguez on 73 minute.
78' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Andy Najar.
83' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
84' Against the run of play, Keaton Parks has scored! This game has turned on its head.
89' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 2-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
