Events

10' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
15' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His New York Red Bulls side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
20' With 0 assists to his name this season, Sean Davis is clearly more than just a goal scorer for New York Red Bulls.
25' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
30' 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 Dru Yearwood suffering a number of foals already.
35' 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.
40' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
42' Poor challenge from Olivier Mbaizo. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
45' The referee shows New York Red Bulls player a Yellow card on 45.
50' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both New York Red Bulls and Philadelphia Union are fighting for every inch of the pitch.

59' The Philadelphia Union manager makes a substitution. Daniel Gazdag departs to be replaced by Joe Bendik.

60' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Patryk Klimala makes no mistake. 3-0!
62' Philadelphia Union ring the changes. Daniel Gazdag has done his job and it is now time for Joe Bendik to step up.
67' Venezuela international Jose Andres Martinez has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
72' Philadelphia Union is showing some good football. However, Philadelphia Union are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
73' Sergio Santos gets the nod from Philadelphia Union. He replaces Leon Flach and will look to change the dynamic.
78' New York Red Bulls manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Mandela Egbo is hanging Amro Tarek on the field on 78 minute.
79' Omir Fernandez has so much to prove this time. He replaces Wikelman Carmona on 79 minute.
