Events

Match Events

  • 5' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Columbus Crew SC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 7' Julian Hall puts New York Red Bulls on the lead.
  • 12' 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.
  • 17' New York Red Bulls seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 22' It’s high time Henrik Rydström made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 27' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 32' 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.
  • 37' It looks surprising New York Red Bulls does not make any changes. Tim Parker has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 42' The travelling Columbus Crew SC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 47' New York Red Bulls looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Julian Hall scoring 1 goals.
  • 52' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 52 minutes.
  • 57' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 62' 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 Patrick Schulte suffering a number of foals already.
  • 67' Columbus Crew SC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 67.
  • 72' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering New York Red Bulls that had 283 games and scored 418 goals.

  • 82' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
