Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. New York City FC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' New York City FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 10' Adri Mehmeti needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 15' 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.
  • 20' Supporters expect more eagerness from Keaton Parks, as he is very good at scoring at Red Bull Arena with 3 goals in the last 3 games.
  • 24' Raul Gustavo was booked on 24.
  • 29' 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 Hannes Wolf suffering a number of foals already.
  • 34' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 39' The supporters are chanting for Andres Perea. He replaces Maxi Moralez on 39 minute.
  • 44' Goal! Jorge Ruvalcaba scores his 7 goal in 372 matches.
  • 46' Another change for New York City FC made on 46 minute. Hannes Wolf leaves to be changed by Malachi Jones.
  • 49' It’s gonna be a card for Keaton Parks.
  • 52' Goal! Andres Perea scores his 14 goal in 283 matches.
  • 57' 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.
  • 59' Another change for New York City FC made on 59 minute. Keaton Parks leaves to be changed by Jonathan Shore.
  • 64' New York City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 64.
  • 67' That looks like a foul for a card for Jorge Ruvalcaba.
  • 69' The supporters are chanting for Gustav Berggren. He replaces Emil Forsberg on 69 minute.
  • 74' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Julian Hall made 283 appearances and scored 6 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 77' Nico Cavallo is having his name booked by the referee on 77.
  • 82' It’s gonna be a card for Dylan Nealis.
  • 85' Rafael Mosquera has so much to prove this time. He replaces Jorge Ruvalcaba on 85 minute.
  • 86' New York Red Bulls player sees a card in front of him.
  • 90' Time for substitution for New York City FC. Agustin Ojeda is replaced by Arnau Farnos.
