Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Yankee Stadium!
  • 2' A goal from the USA international Andres Perea! He fires home on 2 to make it 1-0!
  • 7' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-4-2 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 12' 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 James Sands suffering a number of foals already.
  • 17' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 22' The home supporters are growing impatient. New York City FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 27' Santiago Rodriguez has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 5 goals to his name this season.
  • 30' Shane O'Neill has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 30.
  • 35' Brazil international Talles Magno has been a key figure this campaign — 2 goals and 2 assists in the Array this season.
  • 40' Toronto FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 45' The energy levels are beginning to show. Jon Conway might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 46' New York City FC ring the changes. Monsef Bakrar has done his job and it is now time for Julian Fernandez to step up.
  • 49' The deadlock is broken! Andres Jasson gets on the scoresheet on 45 minutes.
  • 54' Julian Fernandez makes no mistake. The score reads 3-0 and New York City FC are in front.
  • 59' New York City FC are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against Toronto FC's 4-4-2 shape.
  • 63' A change in the Toronto FC ranks — Deandre Kerr exits the field as Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty enters on 63.
  • 68' It looks like no one’s ball. Toronto FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 71' Time for substitution for Toronto FC. C.J. Sapong is replaced by Prince-Osei Owusu.
  • 74' Fresh legs for New York City FC! Matias Pellegrini comes on to replace Santiago Rodriguez.
  • 79' Raoul Petretta has been relatively quiet despite scoring 2 goals in his last 172 appearances.
  • 84' Time for substitution for New York City FC. Andres Jasson is replaced by Alonso Martinez.
  • 89' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Toronto FC that had 300 games and scored 397 goals.
  • 90' That is a card for New York City FC. Julian Fernandez will be fuming at that decision.
  • With this win, New York City FC is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
