Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Yankee Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' New York City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
- 10' Khiry Shelton needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 15' New York City FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 20' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 25' It looks surprising Sporting Kansas City does not make any changes. Johnny Russell has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 30' Nicolas Acevedo has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 10 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 35' It looks like no one’s ball. Sporting Kansas City is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 40' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering New York City FC that had 264 games and scored 432 goals.
- 45' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Logan Ndenbe.
- 46' It is a substitution in New York City FC team. Thiago is replaced by Maxi Moralez on 46 minute.
- 51' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 51 minutes.
- 56' 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.
- 61' 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 Marinos Tzionis suffering a number of foals already.
- 64' New York City FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 64.
- 68' Gabriel Pereira is replacing Heber for the New York City FC side.
- 73' The supporters are chanting for Felipe Hernandez. He replaces Roger Espinoza on 73 minute.
- 78' It is a substitution in Sporting Kansas City team. Khiry Shelton is replaced by Nikola Vujnovic on 78 minute.
- 82' Sporting Kansas City manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Marinos Tzionis is hanging Cameron Duke on the field on 82 minute.
- 85' New York City FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Maxime Chanot is hanging Chris Gloster on the field on 85 minute.
- 89' A meaty challenge results in booking for Kortne Ford on 89.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-0.
