Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: D.C. United SC gets underway.
- 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Sean Johnson made 265 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 10' 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.
- 15' D.C. United SC is showing some good football. However, D.C. United SC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 20' It’s high time René Weiler made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 25' The travelling D.C. United SC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 26' Keisuke Kurokawa is having his name booked by the referee on 26.
- 29' D.C. United SC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Louis Munteanu on 29.
- 34' It looks surprising D.C. United SC does not make any changes. Jackson Hopkins has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 36' Andres Perea has so much to prove this time. He replaces Aiden O'Neill on 36 minute.
- 41' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering New York City FC that had 265 games and scored 432 goals.
- 45' Silvan Hefti is having his name booked by the referee on 45.
- 50' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 55' 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 Strahinja Tanasijevic suffering a number of foals already.
- 60' Aaron Herrera is replacing Jared Stroud for the D.C. United SC side.
- 63' Hannes Wolf is replacing Malachi Jones for the New York City FC side.
- 68' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 68 minutes.
- 70' A meaty challenge results in booking for Peglow on 70.
- 75' Goal! Louis Munteanu scores his 3 goal in 8 matches.
- 78' Another change for D.C. United SC made on 78 minute. Louis Munteanu leaves to be changed by Jacob Murrell.
- 80' Nicolas Fernandez Marcau is having his name booked by the referee on 80.
- 81' It is a substitution in New York City FC team. Raul Gustavo is replaced by Jonathan Shore on 81 minute.
- 86' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 89' The whistle greets Peglow as he departs to be replaced by Connor Antley.
- 90' It’s gonna be a card for Jacob Murrell.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for D.C. United SC players.
