| (35 minutes later) | |
| 6.18pm BST | |

| 15 min: Oh, David Villa puts it wide! Villa ran through the middle on to RJ Allen’s long pass, Robles stayed home, and Villa shot wide! His first touch was slightly awry, which made the chance more difficult, but he should have done better. A let-off for the Red Bulls. | |
| 6.17pm BST | |
| 18:17 | |
| 13 min: Wright-Phillips goes down, and Ethan White is booked. Patrick Vieira isn’t happy – it looked like a 50-50 challenge, but maybe White was a little late. He went with two feet, too, which is always problematic. From the free kick, Kljestan swings it in, and McCarty heads over! Chance. | |
| 6.15pm BST | |
| 18:15 | |
| 12 min: Poor backpass from Zizzo, and David Villa was nearly in, but Robles is alert to the danger, and smacks it into the stand. | |
| 6.13pm BST | |
| 18:13 | |
| 10 min: It’s been competitive so far. NYC look as though they’ve found their way, and Allen has space, but his ball for Lampard is misdirected, and the Red Bulls clear. | |
| 6.10pm BST | |
| 18:10 | |
| 7 min: McNamara wins another corner. Much better from the visitors after an uncertain start, but again, the delivery from Pirlo comes to naught. | |
| 6.08pm BST | |
| 18:08 | |
| 5 min: Felipe has a it from distance, but it’s wide. | |
| 6.07pm BST | |
| 18:07 | |
| 4 min: Good pass forward from Pirlo for the streaking McNamara, who does well to win a corner. Pirlo hits it deep, but the whistle goes for a foul. | |
| 6.05pm BST | |
| 18:05 | |
| 3 min: Good positive start by the Red Bulls. NYC haven’t been out of their half. | |
| 6.04pm BST | |
| 18:04 | |
| 2 min: Early chance for the Red Bulls, within 30 seconds! NYC turned it over in midfield, and Kljestan found Wright-Phillips, who skinned Mena, drove it across the box, but no one could apply the touch! Great start by the hosts. | |
| 6.02pm BST | |
| 18:02 | |
| And we're off! | |
| 1 min: The visitors get us under way. It’s about 100F at pitch level. Red Bulls in white shirts with red sleeves, and New York City in FC in sky blue. | |
| 5.56pm BST | |
| 17:56 | |
| The teams are coming out of the tunnel, and Red Bull Arena is loud. | |
| 5.46pm BST | |
| 17:46 | |
| It’s about 90F in Harrison, and humid, and it’s even warmer down at pitch level. Could that affect the Red Bulls’ pressing game? | |
| 5.43pm BST | 5.43pm BST |
| 17:43 | 17:43 |
| So all the stars are here: Felipe, Kljestan, Lampard, Pirlo and David Villa are all included. Watch out for NYC’s Jack Harrison driving forward into the box. | So all the stars are here: Felipe, Kljestan, Lampard, Pirlo and David Villa are all included.

| Hello and welcome | Hello and welcome |
| It’s another Hudson River derby – but don’t expect another 0-7 thrashing. New York City FC have been on a good run of form since that dark day in May, winning five of their past six games, and they sit top of the rankings in the Eastern Conference. The Red Bulls are not too far back, in fourth, but they gave up two bad goals against Philly last time out, turning a 2-0 victory into a 2-2 draw, which caused skipper Dax McCarty to lose his temper with his team-mates. | It’s another Hudson River derby – but don’t expect another 0-7 thrashing.

| “We have no spine on the road,” McCarty told reporters after Sunday’s match. “If you’re going to be nervous, if you don’t want the ball, teams smell blood. We’re not going to win anything this year if we don’t figure out a way to do better on the road.” | “We have no spine on the road,” McCarty told reporters after Sunday’s match. “If you’re going to be nervous, if you don’t want the ball, teams smell blood.

| They’ll hope for better today in front of a boisterous home crowd in Harrison, New Jersey. Kick off is slated for 1pm ET – we should be getting going shortly after that. | They’ll hope for better today in front of a boisterous home crowd in Harrison, New Jersey.

| Many European rivalries are also products of the times: a political issue between rivals that’s spilled over to the football field, or just simply inter-region pride. But it didn’t happen overnight. MLS is concurrently a test tube for what the future of the league will be. Make no mistake, despite the massive progress that’s been made in the past 20 years, the league has a long way to go. Things take time. Just remember in the last 20 years we’ve had countdown clocks and hockey-style penalty shootouts. | Many European rivalries are also products of the times: a political issue between rivals that’s spilled over to the football field, or just simply inter-region pride.

| Fandom is this enigmatic and intangible thing that can’t really be classified. It just is. The Sons of Ben and the Timbers Army are excellent examples of organic fan culture, and these two groups will forever be how embedded into the folklore of their respective clubs. Philadelphia Union’s Sons of Ben, who played a considerable role in the genesis of that club, even got to help design their own quadrant of the stadium. And this weekend will represent another watershed moment for American soccer. For the first time ever, ESPN’s SportsCenter will be on the road at an MLS game. The Timbers Army is sure to be out in full force. | Fandom is this enigmatic and intangible thing that can’t really be classified. It just is.
