Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. Montreal Impact FC get us underway at Red Bull Arena.
  • 5' Alfredo Morales has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
  • 15' New York City FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Montreal Impact FC's shape.
  • 20' It looks surprising New York City FC does not make any changes. Gudmundur Thorarinsson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 25' Montreal Impact FC have won 383 goals from 288 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 29' Ismael Tajouri-Shradi makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and New York City FC are in front.
  • 34' Montreal Impact FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 39' The 27-year-old Mathieu Choiniere has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 3 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 42' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Joel Waterman on 42 minutes.
  • 47' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 52' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 57' New York City FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 60' The whistle greets Joaquin Torres as he departs to be replaced by Djordje Mihailovic.
  • 62' The referee shows New York City FC player a Yellow card on 62.
  • 67' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 71' The Montreal Impact FC bench stirs into life. Ibrahim Sunusi is withdrawn and Mason Toye gets his opportunity.
  • 72' Keaton Parks has so much to prove this time. He replaces Nicolas Acevedo on 72 minute.
  • 76' Controversy at the stadium! Ahmed Hamdi argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 80' Mathieu Choiniere has so much to prove this time. He replaces Zorhan Bassong on 80 minute.
  • 82' It is a substitution in New York City FC team. Valentin Castellanos is replaced by Thiago on 82 minute.
  • 87' 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 Anton Tinnerholm suffering a number of foals already.
  • 90' The whistle greets Ismael Tajouri-Shradi as he departs to be replaced by Sebastien Ibeagha.
  • 1-0 the final result. Montreal Impact FC will be bitterly disappointed.
