  • 5' Both keepers have barely been tested. Philadelphia Union and New York Red Bulls are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 10' 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.

  • 65' 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.
  • 70' With 0 assists to his name this season, Tyler Adams is clearly more than just a goal scorer for New York Red Bulls.
  • 75' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
