Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Los Angeles FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. New York Red Bulls needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 10' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 15' 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.
- 20' Los Angeles FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 25' Over 25 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 30' Eduard Atuesta, a Colombia , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 35' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Los Angeles FC that had 285 games and scored 571 goals.
- 40' Marcos Urena has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 45' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 50' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 50 minutes.
- 55' Michael Amir Murillo is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for New York Red Bulls tonight.
- 60' The travelling Los Angeles FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 65' Kemar Lawrence has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 70' New York Red Bulls have won 418 goals from 283 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 75' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 80' 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.
- 85' New York Red Bulls currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 90' United States international Benny Feilhaber has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for New York Red Bulls players.
