00:00To the midfield with Keaton Park's injury, New York City win the ball.
00:03They need to find Fernandes Mercal where he can then release the wingers in behind.
00:08Fly forward and become a pocket 10, combining with Christian Espinoza
00:11to create that wide overload on the right-hand side and draw eyes and attention.
00:16Right here on Apple TV over the course of the weekend.
00:19Don't you dare go anywhere.
00:20And here in the Bronx, away we go.
00:24Two sides with similar expectations, but only one thus far has exceeded them.
00:29That's her looking to get involved, the cross it comes and steer to safety for now.
00:33Picked up by Nahar on the far side.
00:37Over to the far flank it goes and Surridge underneath it.
00:40And in the end, umph and over.
00:43Into the danger zone, really good opening for NYCFC, blocked in the end.
00:48Flash towards goal, umph and over and behind for the first corner of the evening for NYCFC.
00:55Great.
00:56Now jeans.
00:59Here's James Sands back amongst the picture here in NYCFC after a spell at St. Pauli in the German Bundesliga.
01:06Opened up here on the near side.
01:08Across it goes and into the grasp of Brian Schrocki.
01:17Thank you, I think, now over to the opposing flank.
01:24Here's Nahar.
01:27You mentioned Sands coming back into the midfield.
01:30He's played primarily as a centre-back since coming back from his time in Germany at St. Pauli.
01:38Step forward back into a familiar role we've seen him in, and that pass to open up the other side
01:42is just perfect.
01:43Oheda with the latest opening for NYCFC.
01:46Oheda finds the perfect pass across to Oheda and great recognition from Sands to open that play up and just
01:54missing that final action to square that one across.
01:56He'll be going towards the back post to allow a rebound if Schrocki's not able to handle it.
02:01Lovely play over the course of the weekend on Apple TV.
02:05He's Elias Saad.
02:08No doubt this game will be watched by Inter-Miami who find themselves with work to do to catch Nashville.
02:15In it comes from the left-hand side.
02:17Nuts back from whence it came and to Walsh goal it goes.
02:20In the end, a routine save from that freeze.
02:24You see the early ball in there from Baker Whiting, and Nahar keeps this play alive.
02:29Difficult one in the air to try to get that one cleanly, and easy save there for Freeze.
02:37Here's Fernandes Makao.
02:41To the opposing flank and O'Toole he goes.
02:44Here's Perea, from the Philadelphia and Orlando City man.
02:49Who ran straight into trouble in the path of Christian Espinosa.
02:53Forward come Nashville.
02:56Top of the Eastern Conference with everything going their way as it stands.
03:01Ten points clear of an era of challengers into Miami in the Eastern Conference.
03:09Here's Jarsberg, the Australian.
03:15Into Miscu at the back.
03:16And perhaps Nashville can pass.
03:20Well how on earth has that not gone in?
03:27With the goal gaping, Nashville SC somehow, some way.
03:33On the doorstep, an easy tap-in for Honey Mukhtar.
03:36Espinosa does so well, and to close that space and use his body to wedge himself in between.
03:43So when it comes for Nashville, Espinosa with a whipped fall into the back post.
03:48Fabulous save, not once for twice.
03:52Manfred showing exactly what he's made of.
03:55And now delivering the ball forwards.
03:58Forward now towards the cusp.
04:00Espinosa across the face, clipped away towards the cusp.
04:02And it's fallen now to Patrick Jasbeck.
04:05And now Saric.
04:07Blocked by a flurry of New York City FC players.
04:10And comfortably, fortuitously, into the arms of Matt Freeze.
04:14Can he?
04:14Could he?
04:15Power up!
04:16You in you!
04:18It's Mukhtar.
04:19And the wall does its job.
04:21Saric picks up the scraps.
04:22Out of it.
04:27Carl Gustavo.
04:29As his pass deflected.
04:32Fernandez-Macao.
04:34Entering now or never territory as we've had the two minutes.
04:40Hop up!
04:41Hop up!
04:42And so there goes the final whistle.
04:46Goalless.
04:47And a point apiece in New York City.
