And Sam Sic both left the field in their three
nil win in the Champions Cup on Thursday in the
Dominican Republic New York hand debuts her two Swedes alongside
Forsburg, Noah Ayla, a close season arrival from
Malmo and we are ready to go in Music City
, Nashville. It's our soccer. It's major league
soccer in a new era beginning for the New York
Rebels on the road in Nashville. The home team
have never beaten them. The shy away from what
they call the grit in the grind. There'll be
emphasis at stoke just to play simple. And here's
Thors with his first shot and he's dangerous from that
kind of range as well in all competitions and a
Red Bull variety in Germany. Just free kick signals
by our referee Christian Cabo Hernandez and it goes,
it's a big missus play restarted there with an uncontested
drop ball. That was because the ball struck the
referee unintentionally what I would say it was hot and
cold. The flick on by Forsburg. It's Manuel
in behind and ass Manuel stopped over by Joe Willis
for Berks. Clever flick on and the Rebels with
the first real sight of goal. He is so
on point for today, Tony TB. What a
ball? This is over the top of Van Der
and he's got a past Joe. It's on the
inside of the post. It's cleared away and it
doesn't look near it across the line. Got Van
Z got Bonsai this year. What a terrific ball
. This is behind the right weight on it puts
Vons Re in his try, he clips the pass
. Well, that's uh high boot from Davis and
the hand has gone to the pocket for a red
card for Sean Davis. And the former New York
rebels skipper is sent off on the opening day of
the season and after review, he's going to the
other pocket and the red card is Davis's day is
not done and that's first captain, a lot of
turns and Willis stretching and this is almost loose for
for now. Manuel trying to turn and he didn't
know he was about to get the shot away but
set up for the striker, probably the smart move
helps it wide to the right for Nealis Strauss there
short back for a meer lovely touch. And again
, it's Joe Willis who makes the save to help
close down space a little bit quicker crossed gear post
and Mayer away vs won it back and for the
club with the so again, he's now becoming absolutely
key for Nashville today. Their goalkeeper still the pressure
comes from the visiting and rampant Red Bulls at the
moment and Duncan gets it back in play with the
throw. This is Weel B and with that,
the referee brings an end to the proceedings in the
first half. Now this season opener and a big
45 minutes ahead for both these sides, Red Bulls
dominating the first half. Nashville narrowly escaping going down
to 10 men. Its playing from left to right
in the second half being central able to run into
either channel and work off of Teal Bumbry flick on
mentioned Nashville's record on opening day and uh numbers of
the first half and still 42.9% probability. Now of
a, a tie and a call between these two
sides headed away by we, that's Marai who's looked
so lively so far and Shaq away now Bumbry has
got to try and stand up to Sean Leis.
He's won a free kick for his brother. He's
a consummate pro and what he has shown tonight,
the right attitude as well. He's been terrific alongside
Ila just their distances together, making sure that every
time Tim Bumby is going in to try and flick
the ball in the absence of messes Muktar. And
so and indeed, they're not fully fit Walker Zimmerman
or indeed, Dan Lovitz Times scale is still uncertain
really for those players Washington, the deep ball,
he's there to make a simple catch. Forsburg stands
over the corner, three players inside the six yard
box, Neis was going for that 10, he
was trying to get away with Karl Duncan but who
have been on the pitch. But also another big
part, it gets those two wing backs forward,
er, running at them and shooting and he hits
the cross bar. J May, well, just
got something on it to turn it onto the woodwork
and Joe Willis had terrific save as Red Bulls again
. They win the first to get on the ball
and he catches. So this, it's for bar
again. They've hit the crossbar for the second time
in the game. The Curan, what a win
with power behind it for that Mill Central, but
he can't keep it down. Willis, he's got
the big right hand across. Does he get a
touch to it? They've yet to cry. Better
chance with a chance. It's games for Nashville,
three players in the box lurking on the edge and
he slipped at his shot. It'll go down as
a shot on target. You suspect a bit of
space for Dylan meals and now Fallsburg and that's good
control. And then the shot straight at Joe W
we've got just over six minutes left of regulation and
Gs park on to the near post and there mcnaughton
was there but an important touch in from a ripple
head and then it's Dr and tip over the top
by Carlos Cornel third quarter in succession. Boy Zimmerman
of that Coronel got something on him. Anona hits
that he's only scored one MLS goal and that is
it. The New York Rebels come into Nashville and
maintain their unbeaten record against the team from Music City --> .
