Events

Match Events

0' New York City FC have kicked off against Montreal Impact FC. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
5' 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 Julian Fernandez suffering a number of foals already.
10' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Samuel Piette made 283 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
20' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
25' Montreal Impact FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
30' The USA Andres Jasson breaks the deadlock on 30 minutes. 1-0!
35' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 3-4-1-2 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
37' The Algeria Monsef Bakrar breaks the deadlock on 37 minutes. 2-0!
42' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
45' Controversy at the stadium! Joel Waterman argues furiously but the card stands.
50' Gabriele Corbo is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for New York City FC so far.
55' Braian Cufre has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
57' Santiago Rodriguez is replacing Richie Ledezma for the New York City FC side.
58' Andres Perea has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 58.
63' The energy levels are beginning to show. Hernan Losada might look to freshen things up shortly.
68' The travelling Montreal Impact FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
70' A change in the New York City FC ranks — Maxi Moralez exits the field as Alfredo Morales enters on 70.
73' The Montreal Impact FC bench stirs into life. Zachary Brault-Guillard is withdrawn and Ibrahim Sunusi gets his opportunity.
78' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
82' It is a substitution in New York City FC team. Andres Jasson is replaced by Matias Pellegrini on 82 minute.
84' Fresh legs for New York City FC! Julian Fernandez comes on to replace Monsef Bakrar.
85' Another change for Montreal Impact FC made on 85 minute. Jules-Anthony Vilsaint leaves to be changed by Nnamdi Chinonso Offor.
86' Another change for Montreal Impact FC made on 86 minute. Kwadwo Opoku leaves to be changed by Ahmed Hamdi.
