Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Yankee Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 1' A stunning finish from Santiago Rodriguez — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 6' A quiet spell here at Yankee Stadium. New York City FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 11' Supporters expect more eagerness from Alonso Martinez, as he is very good at scoring at Yankee Stadium with 12 goals in the last 10 games.
- 16' Keaton Parks needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 4 Red cards this season.
- 18' Santiago Rodriguez does the damage! The net is bulging and New York City FC surge ahead!
- 21' Alonso Martinez has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 21 minutes.
- 26' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Sam Surridge made 14 appearances and scored 63 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 31' With 0 assists to his name this season, Jack Maher is clearly more than just a goal scorer for New York City FC.
- 36' Nashville SC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 41' New York City FC is showing some good football. However, New York City FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 45' That is a card for Nashville SC. Walker Zimmerman will be fuming at that decision.
- 46' Nashville SC ring the changes. Shaq Moore has done his job and it is now time for Julian Gaines to step up.
- 51' New York City FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Nashville SC backline.
- 56' 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.
- 58' The deadlock is broken! Hany Mukhtar gets on the scoresheet on 58 minutes.
- 60' The referee has no hesitation. Patrick Yazbek is booked for Nashville SC — card on 60.
- 65' It’s high time Nick Cushing made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 70' Maxi Moralez makes way for Andres Perea at the 70 minute mark. A tactical switch from New York City FC.
- 75' New York City FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 77' A tactical swap from Nashville SC — Dru Yearwood on, Patrick Yazbek off on 77 minutes.
- 82' The energy levels are beginning to show. Nick Cushing might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 87' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 89' A change in the New York City FC ranks — Hannes Wolf exits the field as Julian Fernandez enters on 89.
- 3-1 the final result. Nashville SC will be bitterly disappointed.
