- 10' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 15' Both keepers have barely been tested. New York City FC and D.C. United SC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.

- 43' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
