  • 15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering St. Louis City that had 122 games and scored 182 goals.
  • 25' A quiet spell here at Citi Field. New York City FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 30' Timo Baumgartl needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 35' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 40' Roman Burki has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 15 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 43' A meaty challenge results in booking for Daniel Edelman on 43.
  • 48' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 50' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Hannes Wolf makes it 1-0.
  • 55' It is a cagey affair so far. New York City FC in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past St. Louis City's compact 3-4-3.
  • 56' Poor challenge from Jaziel Orozco. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.

  • 80' The St. Louis City manager makes a substitution. Rafael Santos departs to be replaced by Mykhi Joyner.
  • 85' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
