Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. New York Red Bulls host FC Cincinnati — let the battle begin!
  • 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Gustavo Vallecilla made 245 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 10' FC Cincinnati 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.
  • 15' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His New York Red Bulls side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 20' Brandon Vazquez has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 23' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Amro Tarek.
  • 28' Supporters expect more eagerness from Caden Clark, as he is very good at scoring at Red Bull Arena with 6 goals in the last 5 games.
  • 32' Allan Cruz is having his name booked by the referee on 32.
  • 37' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 37 minutes.
  • 42' FC Cincinnati have won 352 goals from 245 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 47' 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.
  • 52' The energy levels are beginning to show. Gerhard Struber might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 57' It looks surprising New York Red Bulls does not make any changes. Allan Cruz has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 61' Fresh legs for New York Red Bulls! Tom Barlow comes on to replace Patryk Klimala.
  • 62' Fresh legs for New York Red Bulls! John Tolkin comes on to replace Andrew Gutman.
  • 67' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both New York Red Bulls and FC Cincinnati are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 70' Alvaro Barreal picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 71' Another change for New York Red Bulls made on 71 minute. Wikelman Carmona leaves to be changed by Frankie Amaya.
  • 76' 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.
  • 77' Yuya Kubo is having his name booked by the referee on 77.
  • 78' FC Cincinnati make a change. Luciano Acosta trudges off to be replaced by Haris Medunjanin on 78 minutes.
  • 83' Patryk Klimala has been relatively quiet despite scoring 30 goals in his last 8 appearances.
  • 88' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Dru Yearwood.
  • 89' The crowd applauds Brenner da Silva as he leaves the pitch. Brandon Vazquez steps in for FC Cincinnati.
  • What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — New York Red Bulls 0-0 FC Cincinnati.
