Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Red Bull Arena. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Tom Barlow made 283 appearances and scored 24 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 10' The travelling Houston Dynamo supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 14' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Sean Nealis.
- 19' 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.
- 24' 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.
- 25' Houston Dynamo receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 25.
- 30' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 35' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 40' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 45' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 46' The whistle greets Cory Burke as he departs to be replaced by Wikelman Carmona.
- 51' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 51 minutes.
- 53' The whistle greets Brooklyn Raines as he departs to be replaced by Ivan Franco.
- 58' It’s high time Ben Olsen made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 60' Another substitution for New York Red Bulls to replace Tom Barlow by Elias Manoel on 60 minute.
- 65' 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 John Tolkin suffering a number of foals already.
- 66' New York Red Bulls player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
