Events
Match Events

- 5' Montreal Impact FC looks like a favorite considering 2 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Prince-Osei Owusu scoring 1 goals.
- 10' 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.
- 15' The 30-year-old Michael Amir Murillo has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 20' Ignacio Piatti, a Argentina , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 25' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 30' Alejandro Silva has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 33 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 35' Sean Davis has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 40' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His New York Red Bulls side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 45' United States international Luis Robles has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 50' New York Red Bulls currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 55' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 60' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 65' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.

- 75' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 80' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kaku made 301 appearances and scored 18 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 85' Montreal Impact FC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 2 of the last 2 meetings.
- 90' 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.
- Montreal Impact FC will have plenty to reflect on. New York Red Bulls were simply the better side today.
