It was a rapid start from Chicago, who took the lead in the opening 20 minutes through Philip Zinckernagel, but their highs turned to lows relatively quickly in the subsequent minutes when talismanic midfielder Brian Gutiérrez was sent off for a high elbow.

Despite the numerical superiority, it took the hosts until nearly the hour mark to pull level however. They did so thanks to a slick move capped off by second-half sub Mounsef Bakrar.

But the moment of the match came just 10 minutes later when Hannes Wolf curled a superb effort into the bottom corner to deliver NYCFC the lead.
