  • 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jack Elliott made 293 appearances and scored 19 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' Philadelphia Union are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Philadelphia Union that had 293 games and scored 491 goals.
  • 25' Both keepers have barely been tested. New York Red Bulls and Philadelphia Union are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.

  • 66' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
