36' It’s a booking for Toronto FC player. Richie Laryea gets a Yellow card.
41' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Marky Delgado made 284 appearances and scored 19 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
46' Time for substitution for Toronto FC. Jozy Altidore is replaced by Ifunanyachi Achara.

76' Another substitution for New York City FC to replace Anton Tinnerholm by Tayvon Gray on 76 minute.
77' Maxi Moralez gets the nod from New York City FC. He replaces Ismael Tajouri-Shradi and will look to change the dynamic.
82' 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.
84' Toronto FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Jacob Shaffelburg is hanging Jonathan Osorio on the field on 84 minute.
85' Toronto FC ring the changes. Pozuelo has done his job and it is now time for Nick DeLeon to step up.
90' The whistle greets Santiago Rodriguez as he departs to be replaced by Jesus Medina.
