Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Yankee Stadium!
  • 5' The energy levels are beginning to show. Robin Fraser might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 6' The referee has no hesitation. Richie Laryea is booked for Toronto FC — card on 6.
  • 7' A moment of madness from Richie Laryea on 7 minutes earns him a card. Toronto FC will be frustrated.
  • 8' The Argentina Nicolas Fernandez Marcau breaks the deadlock on 8 minutes. 1-0!
  • 11' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Talles Magno on 11 minutes.
  • 16' Toronto FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 16.
  • 18' It’s gonna be a card for Nicolas Fernandez Marcau.
  • 23' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 28' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 28 minutes.
  • 33' Hungary international Daniel Salloi has been a key figure this campaign — 4 goals and 4 assists in the Array this season.
  • 38' Theo Corbeanu has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 43' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 45' It’s gonna be a card for Jonathan Osorio.
  • 50' 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 Thiago Martins suffering a number of foals already.
  • 51' The USA Djordje Mihailovic breaks the deadlock on 45 minutes. 1-1!
  • 56' A meaty challenge results in booking for Niklas Dorsch on 56.
  • 59' A tactical swap from New York City FC — Malachi Jones on, Benie Traore off on 59 minutes.
  • 61' The referee shows Toronto FC player a card on 61.
  • 66' New York City FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Toronto FC's shape.
  • 71' Toronto FC make a change. Josh Sargent trudges off to be replaced by Deandre Kerr on 71 minutes.
  • 72' The supporters are chanting for Maximo Carrizo. He replaces Talles Magno on 72 minute.
  • 77' Over 77 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 82' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. New York City FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 86' Another substitution for New York City FC to replace Nicolas Fernandez Marcau by Seymour Reid on 86 minute.
  • 87' The supporters are chanting for Malik Henry. He replaces Theo Corbeanu on 87 minute.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
