29' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Sean Nealis.
34' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Bradley Carnell will be considering his options from the bench.

78' The supporters are chanting for Allan Cruz. He replaces Yuya Kubo on 78 minute.
79' Samuel Tetteh gets the nod from New York Red Bulls. He replaces Brian White and will look to change the dynamic.
84' 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.
