0' In just a few seconds will turn into a battlefield for New York Red Bulls and Atlanta United FC.
5' 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 Hector Villalba suffering a number of foals already.
10' The home supporters are growing impatient. New York Red Bulls must find a spark to ignite this game.
15' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
20' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. New York Red Bulls needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
25' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
30' Brian White has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 5 goals this season.
35' New York Red Bulls currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
40' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
45' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
50' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Chris Armas will be considering his options from the bench.
55' Supporters expect more eagerness from Julian Gressel, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
60' Atlanta United FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
65' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
70' Darlington Nagbe has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
75' It looks surprising New York Red Bulls does not make any changes. Michael Parkhurst has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
80' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Aaron Long made 286 appearances and scored 16 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
85' Atlanta United FC is showing some good football. However, Atlanta United FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
90' It’s high time Gerardo Martino made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
The points are shared — New York Red Bulls 2-0 Atlanta United FC. Honours even.
