0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and New York City FC launch into their encounter with Real Salt Lake.
5' It is a cagey affair so far. New York City FC in their trying to find a way past Real Salt Lake's compact .
10' Albert Rusnak needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
15' The 44-year-old Kyle Beckerman has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
20' The travelling Real Salt Lake supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
25' Anton Tinnerholm has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
30' Justen Glad, a USA , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
35' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both New York City FC and Real Salt Lake are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
40' 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 Damir Kreilach suffering a number of foals already.
45' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Mike Petke will be considering his options from the bench.
50' 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.
55' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
60' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
65' New York City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 65.
70' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 70 minutes.
75' New York City FC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
80' With 0 assists to his name this season, Nick Rimando is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Real Salt Lake.
85' It looks surprising Real Salt Lake does not make any changes. David Horst has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
90' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Real Salt Lake needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 4-0.
