| New York City FC 0-7 New York Red Bulls: MLS – as it happened | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| 10.42pm BST | |
| 22:42 | |
| We’re going to wrap this blog up now. What a game! Thanks for reading. Bye! | |
| 10.39pm BST | |
| 22:39 | |
| Just watching the goals again. What a farce! Rob Stone on Fox: “If this was college football, the defensive coordinator would get fired for this.” | |
| 10.36pm BST | |
| 22:36 | |
| That was truly astonishing. New York City FC were poor in the first half, and went in 0-3 down, but they just fell apart in the second. It was just so easy for the Red Bulls. Four goals they scored from corners: NYC just stood and watched. No one emerged with any credit for the home side. They were utterly pathetic. What does Patrick Vieira say? | |
| 10.33pm BST | |
| 22:33 | |
| Bradley Wright-Phillips gets it about right: “We were unbelievable.” | |
| 10.31pm BST | |

| Full-time: NYC FC 0-7 New York Red Bulls | |
| And one of the craziest games in MLS history comes to an end. | |
| 10.31pm BST | |
| 22:31 | |
| 90 min +3: NYC force a corner. There’ll be time to take it. Wide from Brillant. | |

| 90 min +1: Three minutes of stoppage time. How in the world do you lose 0-7 at home – and concede four of those goals from corners? It was played in by Felipe, I think, Mikey Lopez took a wild swing and completely missed it, and Gideon Baah stabbed home from about two yards. Insane. | |
| 10.27pm BST | |
| 22:27 | |
| 90 min: I’m speechless. What the hell is going on? | |
| 10.26pm BST | |
| 22:26 | |
| GOAL! NYC FC 0-7 New York Red Bulls (Baah 90) | |
| Incredible. Can you believe this? | |
| 10.26pm BST | |
| 22:26 | |
| 89 min: Lots and lots of empty seats in the stadium now. The Red Bulls win another corner. | |
| 10.24pm BST | |
| 22:24 | |
| 88 min: NYC FC have given up. The Red Bulls are all over them like a cheap suit. This truly is a hammering. | |
| 10.23pm BST | |
| 22:23 | |
| 86 min: And Sam lifts one over the top from six yards! That really should have been seven. This is unbelievable! | |
| 10.22pm BST | |
| 22:22 | |
| 84 min: More defensive nonsense from NYC FC. A cross to the back post, Saunders completely flapped at it, and no one picked up Veron, who headed into an empty net from about four yards. This is a joke. | |
| 10.20pm BST | |
| 22:20 | |
| GOAL! NYC FC 0-6 New York Red Bulls (Veron 83) | |
| Six! This is ridiculous! | |
| 10.20pm BST | |
| 22:20 | |
| 82 min: Now Harrison concedes a needless foul by the corner flag. NYC FC have been terrible today. | |
| 10.19pm BST | |
| 22:19 | |
| 81 min: Veron does well to force a corner. And another chance for the visitors! Baah went close, and Muyl also, but NYC hustle it behind for a corner. The boos from the home fans are becoming much louder. | |
| 10.18pm BST | |
| 22:18 | |
| 80 min: Oh, Sam should have made it six! Great clipped ball over the top from McCarty, and Sam ran beyond Hernandez, but stabbed it over the bar! He didn’t quite sort his feet out, and was off balance as he hit it, but that was a real chance. Gideon Baah on for Sacha Kljestan, who has extended his assist record this season to eight. The Red Bulls are going five at the back: they want this clean sheet. | |
| 10.15pm BST | |
| 22:15 | |
| 78 min: Mendoza runs through the middle again, but Collin does ever so well to come back and get across. Mendoza has so much pace, and streaked clear, but excellent covering defence from the Frenchman. | |
| 10.14pm BST | |
| 22:14 | |
| 77 min: The Red Bulls still pressing high. Their strategy has worked a treat today. | |
| 10.12pm BST | |
| 22:12 | |
| 75 min: Pirlo’s free kick … just wide! And that’s his final action: Frank Lampard is on! To a less-than-enthusiastic welcome from the home fans. | |
| 10.11pm BST | |
| 22:11 | |
| 74 min: Oh, Lade gets a yellow, but could that have been red? Villa picks it up 40 yards from goal, looks to feed Mendoza, running beyond the backline, but Lade pulls him back! Just a yellow – I suppose there were covering defenders. But it was deeply cynical. | |
| 10.10pm BST | |
| 22:10 | |
| 73 min: Still no sign of Frank Lampard. | |
| 10.09pm BST | 10.09pm BST |
| 22:09 | 22:09 |
| 72 min: Harrison wins a corner. Pirlo takes it short, then Matarrita gives it back to him, but Pirlo is offside. Doh. | 72 min: Harrison wins a corner. Pirlo takes it short, then Matarrita gives it back to him, but Pirlo is offside. Doh. |

| 70 min: NYC FC force a corner. Pirlo takes, headed clear, Mendoza stabs it back, and how did Robles save that? David Villa just completely missed his kick! From about five yards! He had the whole goal to aim at, and just pushed one at the goalkeeper. Sums up NYC’s day. | 70 min: NYC FC force a corner.

| 66 min: Jesse Marsch with some words of encouragement for the substitute. “Come on, Gonzalo. Mucho trabajo!” Felipe is down again. It looks like he took a whack in the face. | 66 min: Jesse Marsch with some words of encouragement for the substitute. “Come on, Gonzalo. Mucho trabajo!” Felipe is down again.

| 65 min: Headed behind for another corner. And Muyl from close range! Oh, that was a chance. He got underneath it. Another wicked ball in from Kljestan: the quality of his set pieces is something else. Bradley Wright-Phillips’ day is done; he’s replaced by Gonzalo Veron. | 65 min: Headed behind for another corner. And Muyl from close range! Oh, that was a chance. He got underneath it.

| 62 min: Here’s a nice stat: McCarty has played 11 years in this league, 260 games, and before today had never scored two in a single game. NYC’s corner, and Pirlo takes, but Robles comes to claim after a moment of panic. | 62 min: Here’s a nice stat: McCarty has played 11 years in this league, 260 games, and before today had never scored two in a single game.

| 57 min: Another terrible piece of defending by NYC. They gave it away – Brillant, I think it was – trying to play out from the back, Wright-Phillips seized upon it, fed Muyl, who smacked it past Saunders from 15 yards. Lovely finish, but he had so much space. What is happening?! | 57 min: Another terrible piece of defending by NYC.
