Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Subaru Park!
- 5' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 10' New England Revolution has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 1 meetings.
- 15' Arnor Ingvi Traustason is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Philadelphia Union tonight.
- 20' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Bruce Arena will be considering his options from the bench.
- 25' It looks like no one’s ball. Philadelphia Union is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jamiro Monteiro made 286 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 34' A meaty challenge results in booking for Kai Wagner on 34.
- 39' The travelling New England Revolution supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 44' 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 Teal Bunbury suffering a number of foals already.
- 49' New England Revolution looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
- 53' A meaty challenge results in booking for Jamiro Monteiro on 53.

- 59' A change in the Philadelphia Union ranks — Jack McGlynn exits the field as Anthony Fontana enters on 59.
- 64' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 68' Gustavo Bou has so much to prove this time. He replaces Adam Buksa on 68 minute.
- 71' Kacper Przybylko catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 71.
- 76' It is a cagey affair so far. Philadelphia Union in their trying to find a way past New England Revolution's compact .
- 79' The crowd applauds Arnor Ingvi Traustason as he leaves the pitch. Edward Kizza steps in for New England Revolution.
- 84' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.

- 88' Kacper Przybylko makes no mistake. The score reads 1-1 and Philadelphia Union are in front.
