Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between New York City FC and Philadelphia Union is underway.
  • 5' It looks surprising Philadelphia Union does not make any changes. Brian Cufre has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' Mikael Uhre, a Denmark , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 15' Kai Wagner has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.

  • 25' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 29' The referee has no hesitation. Jakob Glesnes is booked for Philadelphia Union — Yellow card on 29.
  • 30' The deadlock is broken! Gabriel Pereira gets on the scoresheet on 30 minutes.
  • 35' New York City FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
  • 38' The referee shows New York City FC player a Yellow card on 38.
  • 43' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.

  • 48' The deadlock is broken! Julian Carranza gets on the scoresheet on 45 minutes.
  • 52' Thiago Martins was booked on 52.
  • 53' Daniel Gazdag adds to his 3 season tally! Philadelphia Union lead 1-3 — and this changes everything.

  • 60' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 61' A meaty challenge results in booking for Kevin O'Toole on 61.

  • 74' Fresh legs for Philadelphia Union! Jesus Bueno comes on to replace Mikael Uhre.
  • 79' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jack Elliott made 289 appearances and scored 19 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 83' Jesus Bueno has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 83.
  • 86' Another change for Philadelphia Union made on 86 minute. Jack Elliott leaves to be changed by Chris Donovan.
