15' Atlanta United FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
20' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Cooper Wyatt Sanchez suffering a number of foals already.

30' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.

60' Los Angeles Galaxy is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
65' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Edwin Cerrillo made 281 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

75' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
