  • 17' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 22' Toronto FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 27' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 30' Toronto FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 30.
  • 35' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 40' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both New York City FC and Toronto FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 45' The home supporters are growing impatient. New York City FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 46' It is a substitution in New York City FC team. Monsef Bakrar is replaced by Julian Fernandez on 46 minute.
  • 49' Goal! Andres Jasson scores his 3 goal in 294 matches.
  • 54' The deadlock is broken! Julian Fernandez gets on the scoresheet on 54 minutes.
  • 59' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 63' Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty has so much to prove this time. He replaces Deandre Kerr on 63 minute.
  • 68' Toronto FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 71' Prince-Osei Owusu gets the nod from Toronto FC. He replaces C.J. Sapong and will look to change the dynamic.

  • 84' The New York City FC bench stirs into life. Andres Jasson is withdrawn and Alonso Martinez gets his opportunity.
  • 89' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 90' It’s a booking for New York City FC player. Julian Fernandez gets a card.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Toronto FC.
