Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. New York Red Bulls kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Ray Gaddis, a USA , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 6' What composure from Josh Sims! The England international strokes it home. 0-1.
  • 11' It’s high time Jim Curtin made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 16' 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 Davis suffering a number of foals already.
  • 21' Philadelphia Union has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 2 of the last 2 meetings.
  • 24' Tim Parker adds to his 0 season tally! New York Red Bulls lead 0-2 — and this changes everything.
  • 29' New York Red Bulls ring the changes. Josh Sims has done his job and it is now time for Alex Muyl to step up.
  • 30' The USA Alejandro Bedoya breaks the deadlock on 30 minutes. 1-2!
  • 35' 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.
  • 36' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Jamiro.
  • 41' New York Red Bulls is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 46' Philadelphia Union are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 49' Tom Barlow adds to his 5 season tally! New York Red Bulls lead 1-3 — and this changes everything.
  • 52' What a strike from Jack Elliott! The score is 2-3.
  • 57' Luis Robles has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 290 appearances.
  • 58' Philadelphia Union player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 62' It is a substitution in Philadelphia Union team. Andrew Wooten is replaced by Ilsinho on 62 minute.
  • 67' It looks like no one’s ball. New York Red Bulls is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 70' Fresh legs for New York Red Bulls! Sean Davis comes on to replace Alejandro Romero Gamarra.
  • 72' A tactical swap from Philadelphia Union — Fafa Picault on, Brenden Aaronson off on 72 minutes.
  • 77' Andrew Wooten has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 78' The Haiti Fafa Picault breaks the deadlock on 78 minutes. 3-3!
  • 83' Philadelphia Union have won 491 goals from 293 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 84' A change in the New York Red Bulls ranks — Tom Barlow exits the field as Bradley Wright-Phillips enters on 84.
  • 89' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Philadelphia Union players.
