- 14' Alexander Hack is having his name booked by the referee on 14.
- 19' 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 Sean Nealis suffering a number of foals already.
- 24' The home supporters are growing impatient. New York Red Bulls must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 29' Brayan Vera has been relatively quiet despite scoring 9 goals in his last 198 appearances.
