Events
Match Events
- 0' Three points are at stake. New York Red Bulls host Toronto FC — let the battle begin!
- 5' Toronto FC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 1 meetings.
- 10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
- 15' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 20' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 25' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both New York Red Bulls and Toronto FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 30' New York Red Bulls is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 35' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering New York Red Bulls that had 286 games and scored 422 goals.
- 40' Ashtone Morgan, a Canada , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 45' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Tim Parker made 286 appearances and scored 12 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 50' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 55' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 60' Tyler Adams has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 65' Toronto FC 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.
- 70' Daniel Royer has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 75' Toronto FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 80' Toronto FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 85' 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 Bradley Wright-Phillips suffering a number of foals already.
- 90' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. New York Red Bulls needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Toronto FC.
