Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: New York Red Bulls gets underway.
- 5' FC Cincinnati is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 15' 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.
- 18' That looks like a foul for a card for Joyeux Masanka Bungi.
- 23' Rafael Mosquera needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 28' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Mohammed Sofo made 261 appearances and scored 6 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 31' That looks like a foul for a card for Bryan Ramirez.
- 36' 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.
- 40' FC Cincinnati is taking the lead after the goal scored by Kevin Denkey on 40.

- 55' New York Red Bulls is showing some good football. However, New York Red Bulls are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 60' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
