Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. D.C. United SC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' A quiet spell here at Red Bull Arena. D.C. United SC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 10' D.C. United SC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 1 meetings.
  • 15' New York Red Bulls is showing some good football. However, New York Red Bulls are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 20' 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.
  • 25' Cristian Dajome has been relatively quiet despite scoring 26 goals in his last 279 appearances.
  • 28' New York Red Bulls make a change. Dante Vanzeir trudges off to be replaced by Tom Barlow on 28 minutes.
  • 33' 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 Andres Reyes suffering a number of foals already.
  • 36' Chris Durkin picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 41' Steve Birnbaum, a USA , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 43' Controversy at the stadium! Dru Yearwood argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 48' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His New York Red Bulls side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 53' The travelling D.C. United SC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 54' Derrick Williams is having his name booked by the referee on 54.
  • 59' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Elias Manoel made 328 appearances and scored 17 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 64' Andy Najar gets the nod from D.C. United SC. He replaces Ruan and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 65' Fresh legs for D.C. United SC! Theodore Ku-DiPietro comes on to replace Cristian Dajome.
  • 70' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 75' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 78' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Andres Reyes.
  • 79' Time for substitution for D.C. United SC. Gabriel Pirani is replaced by Jose Fajardo.
  • 82' Kyle Duncan has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 82.
  • 85' New York Red Bulls make a change. Elias Manoel trudges off to be replaced by Wikelmann Carmona on 85 minutes.
  • 88' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. John Tolkin makes it 1-0.
  • 89' The supporters are chanting for Yamil Asad. He replaces Pedro Santos on 89 minute.
  • It finishes all square. New York Red Bulls and D.C. United SC share the spoils 1-0.
