Events

Match Events

0' That's the starting whistle at Red Bull Arena. Ninety minutes of football awaits between New York Red Bulls and Philadelphia Union.
5' It looks surprising Philadelphia Union does not make any changes. Sean Davis has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
15' The energy levels are beginning to show. Gerhard Struber might look to freshen things up shortly.
18' What composure from Sergio Santos! The Brazil international strokes it home. 0-1.
23' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both New York Red Bulls and Philadelphia Union are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
28' Philadelphia Union come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
33' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
37' The USA Omir Fernandez breaks the deadlock on 37 minutes. 1-1!
42' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Christian Casseres Jr. made 286 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
45' That is a Yellow card for Philadelphia Union. Jose Andres Martinez will be fuming at that decision.
46' The whistle greets Christian Casseres Jr. as he departs to be replaced by Wikelman Carmona.
51' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 51 minutes.
52' A meaty challenge results in booking for Kyle Duncan on 52.
57' Cameroon international Olivier Mbaizo has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
58' Tom Barlow has so much to prove this time. He replaces Omir Fernandez on 58 minute.
63' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Philadelphia Union winning 100% of all matches.
65' A moment of madness from Andres Reyes on 65 minutes earns him a Yellow card. New York Red Bulls will be frustrated.
70' Both keepers have barely been tested. New York Red Bulls and Philadelphia Union are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
74' Another change for New York Red Bulls made on 74 minute. Dru Yearwood leaves to be changed by Daniel Royer.
79' New York Red Bulls have won 422 goals from 286 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
84' New York Red Bulls seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
86' Philadelphia Union player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
87' Fresh legs for New York Red Bulls! Thomas Edwards comes on to replace John Tolkin.
88' Philadelphia Union receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 88.
Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
