00:00The Union together again with the very capable Mikael Ua available off the bench tonight.
00:05These teams are separated by a hundred miles and a turnpike.
00:10Who are the key factors tonight hoping to find the back of the net?
00:14This first round series sweep of Chicago that Philadelphia celebrated was 22 days ago.
00:21Going into that midfield area Gustavo will come in and it just creates that extra man for them to make sure that they don't get outnumbered in midfield.
00:30Given away, taken here by New York City, Fernandes Macau looking for a right to shoot, save made, Blake.
00:37Yeah, well it's initial mistake from Gleisner, he just tries to be clever and we always speak about Morales, he starts the press.
00:42Well he's the one that gets it really well and it's good play from Fernandes.
00:45Judge tonight, brought down here, Barribo, Damiani, still Damiani trying to shield away, one defender gets a shot away and Matt Freese initially didn't handle it cleanly,
00:59just in the nick of time, kept it from going over the goal line, and then he has to jump in it the second time, but he wouldn't have seen Edsel lay himself, but he's able to get there.
01:07Taken here by Gray, sends New York City in transition, Ojeda cuts it inside on McConaughey, well done, Fernandes Macau plays it ahead, shot, goal!
01:17Now because Ojeda goes into space, then McConaughey, he gets done, McConaughey's now out of the middle, so all of a sudden the back four is all over the place.
01:29Somewhat haphazard in the midfield, but that's a good ball by Shor to send New York City the other way, Agustino Ojeda now working, cuts inside, gives it a go, save by Blake, and out for a city corner.
01:41Hariel just goes into an area, which he shouldn't do, he's been dragged out by Wolfie, who thinks he's marking, well Wolf has gone inside and Ojeda's come all the way over from the right hand side to the left, commits Gleznes, it's a good strike.
01:55Had a couple of reviews, might be looking at some significant stoppage time for the first half, wide ball saved by Freese, that's Gleznes in the danger area who got the shot away.
02:05How he was able to get down so quickly, you just see Gleznes, he's the one that creates the initial problem, but then Freese, how he gets down so fast.
02:12Getting busy on their bench, we'll explain in a moment.
02:19Gleznes, couldn't get on the ball, that's Blake off his line, no one, New York City, oh Andre, Blake got over in the nick of time, and might have saved the day.
02:29MLS goalkeeper of the year, well from a goalkeeper's side of things, you want to be out of the box when you're attacking, but then he knows what's coming, he knows what's coming, and he has to strain every sinew to get to that ball, and he does it incredibly well, because that could have been game over.
02:47He has no right to win that, the pace that he showed then for a goalkeeper, goalkeepers are not known for their pace.
02:53Well, let me tell you, Blake, he showed that they should be, what a wonderful, wonderful save.
02:59Oh, so great.
03:06Service by Westfield, whips this ball in, had the target, follow-up try on the bicycle, that's Damiani trying to make the magic happen, he could not.
03:15Contact onto that, it's coming over him, yes, you could argue, and just say that they sent that back at the last seconds, Martins.
03:21Union with 13, but nothing to find the back of the net yet, Glessness, able to whip this across, waiting on it, Ileski, Milan Ileski, plays it across, save made, oh, Freese got over, big denial on Westfield.
03:38Now I can't talk personally, any higher than Matt Freese, he's sensational, absolutely magnificent, and that chance you can see was...
03:48Got by the outstretched foot of Danley, and taken by New York City, looking to buy some time here with the one goal lead, the return for Fernandez Mercall.
04:01They work it across, getting on the loose ball, Maxey looking for another, and a save by Andrew Rick.
04:07Kevin Sullivan lays this off, couldn't get a shot away, Wagner to play this ball in on the one-timer, it's Westfield who just missed.
04:19Four minutes to make any of this count.
04:22Well, we spoke about Freese making an unbelievable save from the first one, but this is absolutely identical.
04:27No call made, Makanya with the takeaway, gathered here by Ileski, and time of the essence, Milan Ileski backs up the New York City defense, gives it a go, just missed.
04:40It's a brilliant, a brilliant effort from Ileski, but an equally good save.
04:45Frankie Westfield with the long throw into the 18.
04:51Bueno, that's it, celebration on for New York City.
04:55They've come to Philadelphia, they've conquered the Supporters' Shield winners.
