| 6.51pm BST | |
| 18:51 | |
| Half-time: New York Red Bulls 3-1 NYC FC | |
| Well, that was fun! Four goals, a penalty kick, a super hit from distance, and the expulsion of one of the coaches. Lots to enjoy here. Back in 15! | |
| 6.50pm BST | |
| 18:50 | |
| 45 min +2: Shot by Muyl, straight at Saunders! It looked like Saunders was unsighted, so either side of him and it could have been four. | |
| 6.48pm BST | |
| 18:48 | |
| 45 min +1: Three minutes of stoppage time. | |
| 6.47pm BST | |
| 18:47 | |
| 45 min: That was a seriously good hit from McNamara. There was no pressure on the ball, but he struck it so sweetly. Robles had no chance, and that gives NYC FC something to cling on to. | |
| 6.47pm BST | |
| 18:47 | |
| 44 min: McNamara went down in the box, but no decision from Geiger. It looked like a flop, to be honest. | |
| 6.45pm BST | |
| 18:45 | |
| GOAL! New York Red Bulls 3-1 NYC FC (McNamara 43) | |
| What a goal from Tommy McNamara! Thirty yards out, and he just hit it … that’s an absolute screamer. Brilliant, brilliant goal. Maybe this isn’t all over! | |
| 6.45pm BST | |
| 18:45 | |
| 41 min: Easy penalty decision for Mark Geiger: it was a clear handball. Brillant knew as soon as he did it, and Kljestan took the kick confidently. This could get ugly for New York City. | |
| 6.43pm BST | |
| 18:43 | |
| GOAL! New York Red Bulls 3-0 NYC FC (Kljestan pen 41) | |
| And Kljestan sends Saunders the wrong way! Three-nil, and that’s surely that. | |
| 6.42pm BST | |
| 18:42 | |
| Penalty to the Red Bulls! | |
| Handball against Brillant! He didn’t argue with the call. | |
| 6.41pm BST | |
| 18:41 | |
| 38 min: The Red Bulls are on top here. NYC FC can’t get the ball. | |
| 6.39pm BST | |
| 18:39 | |
| 35 min: Well, this is a jam for NYC. Two down, coach sent off, and it’s about a million degrees in the blazing sunshine. Still, the Red Bulls were two up against Philly last week and managed not to win, so there’s some hope, I suppose. | |
| 6.38pm BST | |
| 18:38 | |
| 33 min: We’re back, and it looks as though Patrick Vieira has been escorted down the tunnel. And a chance for Wright-Phillips for 3-0 – blocked by Saunders! | |
| That’s official, by the way: Patrick Vieira has been ejected from the game for “irresponsible behaviour”, which Julie Stewart-Binks on the touchline describes as “running his mouth at referee Mark Geiger”. | |
| 6.35pm BST | |
| 18:35 | |
| Stuart Holden points out on commentary that NYC FC had no one on the post for that Zubar goal. A guy on the post would have cleared that with ease. Doh! | |
| 6.34pm BST | |
| 18:34 | |
| 31 min: It’s filthy hot, so we’ll take an official hydration break. | |
| 6.33pm BST | |
| 18:33 | |
| 29 min: Grella does well to control Muyl’s pass, but he’s crowded out by Mena and Allen. NYRB looking for more goals here. | |
| 6.31pm BST | |
| 18:31 | |
| 27 min: Lampard made a good forward run into the box, but Harrison’s pass was lacking. Had he got it right, Lampard was all alone in the penalty area. | |
| 6.28pm BST | |
| 18:28 | |
| 25 min: Muyl is nearly in, and so too is Wright-Phillips. NYC FC need to get it together. | |
| 6.27pm BST | |
| 18:27 | |
| 24 min: To paraphrase the former England boss Graham Taylor, this is a test for NYC. A real test. What to do now? Zubar just got up higher from the corner and Saunders had no chance. Another assist for Kljestan, who’s been superb. | |

| GOAL! New York Red Bulls 2-0 NYC FC (Zubar 23) | |
| No matter! From the corner, Zubar heads powerfully home for 2-0! | |
| 6.25pm BST | |
| 18:25 | |
| 22 min: Oh, Grella! Kljestan played him in, on the right side, but Grella tried to turn inside Allen when he probably would have been better off shooting. It’s a corner, but it could have been more. | |
| 6.24pm BST | |
| 18:24 | |
| 21 min: That’s a 55th career goal for BWP, and his sixth against his crosstown rivals. Collin won the header on halfway, and then NYC seemed to switch off. Kljestan picked it up 30 yards from goal, slipped a nice reverse pass into Wright-Phillips, between the two centre-back, and the striker clipped it beyond Saunders, calmly. Great finish, but slightly dopey defending from NYC FC. | |
| 6.22pm BST | |
| 18:22 | |
| GOAL! New York Red Bulls 1-0 NYC FC (Wright-Phillips 20) | |
| The hosts lead! | |
| 6.21pm BST | |
| 18:21 | |
| 17 min: Villa is almost in again, in identical fashion, but this time he’s offside. That’s a good attacking strategy for the visitors: as the Red Bulls push up to press, hit one long over the top for Villa, who’s always looking to run in behind. | |
| 6.18pm BST | 6.18pm BST |
| 18:18 | 18:18 |
| 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. | 15 min: Oh, David Villa puts it wide!

| 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. | 13 min: Wright-Phillips goes down, and Ethan White is booked.

| 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. | 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. |

| 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. | 10 min: It’s been competitive so far.

| 7 min: McNamara wins another corner. Much better from the visitors after an uncertain start, but again, the delivery from Pirlo comes to naught. | 7 min: McNamara wins another corner. Much better from the visitors after an uncertain start, but again, the delivery from Pirlo comes to naught. |

| 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. | 4 min: Good pass forward from Pirlo for the streaking McNamara, who does well to win a corner.
