Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds will turn into a battlefield for New York Red Bulls and Atlanta United FC.
- 5' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 10' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 15' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His New York Red Bulls side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 20' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 25' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Chris Armas will be considering his options from the bench.
- 30' Atlanta United FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Fafa Picault scoring 1 goals.
- 35' New York Red Bulls are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Atlanta United FC's shape.
- 40' The home supporters are growing impatient. New York Red Bulls must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 45' Tyler Adams is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for New York Red Bulls tonight.
- 50' Over 50 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 55' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 60' Alex Muyl has been relatively quiet despite scoring 24 goals in his last 302 appearances.
- 65' With 0 assists to his name this season, Eric Remedi is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Atlanta United FC.
- 70' The 34-year-old Leandro Gonzalez Pirez has been sensational this season — 1 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 75' Bradley Wright-Phillips has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 80' Aaron Long has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 85' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 90' 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 Michael Amir Murillo suffering a number of foals already.
- Atlanta United FC will have plenty to reflect on. New York Red Bulls were simply the better side today.
