| 62 min: Well, NYC FC have hope, especially with McNamara in the mood, but they must keep that back door shut. They’ve looked open in defence. Now Allen is booked for a late foul on Kljestan. | |
| 7.22pm BST | |
| 19:22 | |
| 59 min: Oh, so unlucky from Tommy McNamara! An almost carbon copy of his first-half goal, but it came back off the underside of the bar! So, so, close: a couple of inches lower and he’d have had his second brilliant goal of the day. What an effort. | |

| 57 min: Now Grella clips Allen, and it’s a booking. A clear foul, and totally unnecessary. | |
| 7.18pm BST | |
| 19:18 | |
| 55 min: Oh, was that a penalty? RJ Allen on Grella! And now there’s some pushing and shoving. Ooh, Allen got lucky there, I think: he went to ground near the byline, and didn’t seem to take the ball. Grella can’t believe it, but Mark Geiger says no. | |

| 54 min: Zubar is booked for a late tackle on David Villa. | |

| 19:14 | |
| 52 min: Kljestan finds Muyl, who’s offside, needlessly. | |
| 7.13pm BST | |
| 19:13 | |
| 51 min: Felipe from distance, and it’s off the top of the bar! It actually deflected off Mike Grella, so there won’t be a corner, much to Jesse Marsch’s chagrin. | |
| 7.12pm BST | |
| 19:12 | |
| 49 min: Good crossfield pass from RJ Allen, and Lampard was on to it, rampaging through the middle, but it just wouldn’t quite sit for him, and the chance is lost. | |
| 7.11pm BST | |
| 19:11 | |
| 47 min: Actually, it was Alex Muyl: he crossed from the left, and Saunders was struggling to get there, and it dinked off the top of the crossbar! Relief for the goalie. | |
| 7.08pm BST | |
| 19:08 | |
| We're back! | |
| 46 min: Red Bulls get us going. No changes from either side, and just like in the first half, the hosts nearly score within 30 seconds! Did that come off the woodwork from Grella? | |

Robles had no chance, and that gives NYC FC something to cling on to. | 45 min: That was a seriously good hit from McNamara. There was no pressure on the ball, but he struck it so sweetly.

| 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. | 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.

| 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. | 35 min: Well, this is a jam for NYC.

| 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”. | 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”. |

Another assist for Kljestan, who’s been superb. | 24 min: To paraphrase the former England boss Graham Taylor, this is a test for NYC. A real test. What to do now?
