What happened: Matt Edwards came on for Elías Báez in the 76th minute of the match. The change occurred with New York Red Bulls holding a 2-0 lead over Atlanta United. Jay Fortune also entered the pitch at the same stoppage for Giuliano Galoppo.

Why it matters: Trailing by two goals in the final quarter-hour, Atlanta turned to its bench to spark an attack and alter momentum. It marked another late appearance for Edwards, who also came on as an 80th-minute substitute in late October.

What to watch: Atlanta enters the final 15 minutes of regulation looking to cut into the two-goal deficit.
