Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. New York Red Bulls host FC Cincinnati — let the battle begin!
  • 5' The energy levels are beginning to show. Jaap Stam might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 8' Aaron Long is having his name booked by the referee on 8.
  • 13' 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.
  • 18' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Brian White made 291 appearances and scored 91 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 23' The home supporters are growing impatient. New York Red Bulls must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 28' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 29' A meaty challenge results in booking for Sean Nealis on 29.
  • 34' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 34 minutes.
  • 39' FC Cincinnati is showing some good football. However, FC Cincinnati are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 44' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 49' Jurgen Locadia needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 2 Yellow cards this season.
  • 54' Jared Stroud has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 55' A moment of madness from Cristian Casseres on 55 minutes earns him a Yellow card. New York Red Bulls will be frustrated.
  • 60' 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 Daniel Royer suffering a number of foals already.
  • 64' New York Red Bulls make a change. Dru Yearwood trudges off to be replaced by Florian Valot on 64 minutes.
  • 69' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His New York Red Bulls side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 74' A quiet spell here at Red Bull Arena. New York Red Bulls seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 78' FC Cincinnati ring the changes. Yuya Kubo has done his job and it is now time for Allan Cruz to step up.
  • 79' Samuel Tetteh is replacing Brian White for the New York Red Bulls side.
  • 84' FC Cincinnati are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 85' Haris Medunjanin puts FC Cincinnati on the lead.
  • 86' Fresh legs for New York Red Bulls! Jared Stroud comes on to replace Kyle Duncan.
  • 87' Tom Barlow gets the nod from New York Red Bulls. He replaces Sean Nealis and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 90' Caleb Stanko picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 90' Another change for FC Cincinnati made on 90 minute. Nick Hagglund leaves to be changed by Caleb Stanko.
