Events
Match Events

- 5' It is a cagey affair so far. New York Red Bulls in their trying to find a way past Columbus Crew SC's compact .
- 10' Columbus Crew SC have won 430 goals from 287 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 15' Columbus Crew SC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 20' With 0 assists to his name this season, James Igbekeme is clearly more than just a goal scorer for New York Red Bulls.
- 25' The travelling Columbus Crew SC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 30' It looks like no one’s ball. New York Red Bulls is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 34' Dylan Nealis has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 34.
- 39' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Columbus Crew SC that had 287 games and scored 430 goals.
- 43' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Darlington Nagbe.
- 48' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Frankie Amaya made 248 appearances and scored 10 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 52' The crowd applauds Patryk Klimala as he leaves the pitch. Tom Barlow steps in for New York Red Bulls.

- 64' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Frankie Amaya on 64 minutes.
- 66' The supporters are chanting for Luquinhas. He replaces Omir Fernandez on 66 minute.
- 71' 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 Dylan Nealis suffering a number of foals already.
- 73' Columbus Crew SC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Luis Diaz is hanging Yaw Yeboah on the field on 73 minute.
- 78' Thomas Edwards has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.

- 85' The USA Tom Barlow breaks the deadlock on 85 minutes. 1-0!
- 86' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Christian Casseres Jr..
- 87' Columbus Crew SC ring the changes. Artur has done his job and it is now time for James Igbekeme to step up.
