Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between New York City FC and Internacional CF Miami is underway.
- 5' New York City FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 15' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 20' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 25' 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 Maxi Moralez suffering a number of foals already.
- 30' It looks like no one’s ball. Internacional CF Miami is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 35' New York City FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 40' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 40 minutes.
- 45' New York City FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Internacional CF Miami backline.
- 50' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Phil Neville will be considering his options from the bench.
- 55' Internacional CF Miami come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 58' A moment of madness from Ariel Lassiter on 58 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Internacional CF Miami will be frustrated.
- 58' It is a substitution in Internacional CF Miami team. Ariel Lassiter is replaced by Indiana Vassilev on 58 minute.
- 63' Gabriel Pereira adds to his 0 season tally! New York City FC lead 1-0 — and this changes everything.
- 66' Internacional CF Miami receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 66.
- 69' GOAL! Maxi Moralez scores on 69.
- 72' Time for substitution for Internacional CF Miami. Aime Mabika is replaced by Ryan Sailor.
- 73' Time for substitution for Internacional CF Miami. Damion Lowe is replaced by Kieran Gibbs.
- 78' Nicolas Acevedo is having his name booked by the referee on 78.
- 78' Another substitution for New York City FC to replace Gabriel Pereira by Keaton Parks on 78 minute.
- 83' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Internacional CF Miami that had 214 games and scored 347 goals.
- 86' The Internacional CF Miami bench stirs into life. Robert Taylor is withdrawn and Bryce Duke gets his opportunity.
- 88' Thiago is ready to make an impact after coming on for Maxi Moralez at the 88 minute mark.
- 90' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Pozuelo.
- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 3-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
