5' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
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' Alexander Ring needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
20' Ronald Matarrita has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
25' New York City FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
30' It is a cagey affair so far. New York City FC in their trying to find a way past Philadelphia Union's compact .
35' Both keepers have barely been tested. New York City FC and Philadelphia Union are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
40' Maxi Moralez, a Argentina , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
45' Alejandro Bedoya has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.

60' New York City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 60.
65' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Philadelphia Union that had 305 games and scored 521 goals.
70' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Jim Curtin will be considering his options from the bench.
75' 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 Borek Dockal suffering a number of foals already.
80' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both New York City FC and Philadelphia Union are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
85' Philadelphia Union come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
