Events

- 0' Three points are at stake. New York City FC host Montreal Impact FC — let the battle begin!
- 5' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 10' New York City FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 15' The 29-year-old Jesus Medina has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.

- 25' Alexander Callens has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
