0' Three points are at stake. Toronto FC host New York City FC — let the battle begin!
5' With 0 assists to his name this season, Ismael Tajouri is clearly more than just a goal scorer for New York City FC.
10' Justin Morrow needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
15' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
20' Eriq Zavaleta has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
25' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
30' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
35' New York City FC have won 459 goals from 289 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
40' New York City 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.
45' 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 Victor Vazquez suffering a number of foals already.
50' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
55' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
60' The energy levels are beginning to show. Domenec Torrent might look to freshen things up shortly.
65' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Toronto FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
70' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
75' 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.
80' David Villa is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for New York City FC so far.
85' Jonathan Osorio, a Canada , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
90' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Toronto FC and New York City FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
With this win, New York City FC is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
