Match Events

0' In just a few seconds Yankee Stadium will turn into a battlefield for New York City FC and New England Revolution.
5' Jesus Medina has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
10' New York City FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against New England Revolution's shape.
15' The 33-year-old Arnor Ingvi Traustason has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
20' Over 20 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
25' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Bruce Arena will be considering his options from the bench.
30' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
31' A stunning finish from Valentin Castellanos — that came from absolutely nowhere!
33' What a strike from Valentin Castellanos! The score is 2-0.
37' Santiago Rodriguez has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 37.
40' The referee calls foul for James Sands. He receives a Yellow card.
41' That is a Yellow card for New York City FC. James Sands will be fuming at that decision.
45' The referee has no hesitation. Maxime Chanot is booked for New York City FC — Yellow card on 45.
46' It is a substitution in New England Revolution team. Emmanuel Boateng is replaced by Gustavo Bou on 46 minute.
51' New England Revolution fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
55' What composure from Valentin Castellanos! The Argentina international strokes it home. 3-0.

68' Andres Jasson is ready to make an impact after coming on for Santiago Rodriguez at the 68 minute mark.
73' 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 Maciel suffering a number of foals already.
75' The New England Revolution manager makes a substitution. Christian Mafla departs to be replaced by Edward Kizza.
78' A change in the New York City FC ranks — Jesus Medina exits the field as Nicolas Acevedo enters on 78.

86' Another change for New York City FC made on 86 minute. Gudmundur Thorarinsson leaves to be changed by Malte Amundsen.
