Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. Philadelphia Union get us underway at .
  • 5' Auston Trusty has been relatively quiet despite scoring 13 goals in his last 305 appearances.
  • 10' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 20' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Chris Armas will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 25' The 30-year-old Michael Amir Murillo has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 30' The travelling New York Red Bulls supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 35' 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 Andreas Ivan suffering a number of foals already.
  • 40' New York Red Bulls are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 45' 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.
  • 50' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Philadelphia Union needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 55' Philadelphia Union looks like a favorite considering 2 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Milan Iloski scoring 2 goals.
  • 60' The energy levels are beginning to show. Jim Curtin might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 65' New York Red Bulls started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 65.
  • 70' Philadelphia Union currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 75' Luis Robles has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 80' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Philadelphia Union and New York Red Bulls are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 85' New York Red Bulls fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 90' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • It finishes all square. Philadelphia Union and New York Red Bulls share the spoils 0-1.
