32' Chicago Fire FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Robert Beric on 32.
34' The Slovenia Robert Beric breaks the deadlock on 34 minutes. 0-2!
39' Chicago Fire FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
44' Carlos Teran has been relatively quiet despite scoring 9 goals in his last 278 appearances.
49' Andres Reyes, a Colombia , has 31 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
54' New York Red Bulls looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Maxim Choupo-Moting scoring 1 goals.
59' Nnamdi Chinonso Offor gets the nod from Chicago Fire FC. He replaces Brian Gutierrez and will look to change the dynamic.
64' A change in the New York Red Bulls ranks — Patryk Klimala exits the field as Daniel Royer enters on 64.
69' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.

81' That is a Yellow card for Chicago Fire FC. Carlos Teran will be fuming at that decision.
83' The supporters are chanting for Elliot Collier. He replaces Robert Beric on 83 minute.
88' 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 Bobby Shuttleworth suffering a number of foals already.
Another three points for Chicago Fire FC.
