  • 5' 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.
  • 10' Anton Tinnerholm, a Sweden , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 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' With 0 assists to his name this season, Aaron Long is clearly more than just a goal scorer for New York City FC.
  • 25' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.
  • 30' Sean Johnson has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 35' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 40' New York City FC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 1 meetings.

  • 75' 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 Daniel Royer suffering a number of foals already.
  • 80' Alexander Callens has been relatively quiet despite scoring 11 goals in his last 18 appearances.
