- 0' And we are off! Austin FC vs Los Angeles FC — let the football do the talking.
- 3' Controversy at the stadium! Daniel Pereira argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- 8' Jared Stroud has been relatively quiet despite scoring 9 goals in his last 283 appearances.
- 13' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 18' Kim Moonhwan has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 3 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 23' 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 Aedan Stanley suffering a number of foals already.
- 24' What a strike from Carlos Vela! The score is 0-1.
- 29' Eddie Segura, a Colombia , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.

- 37' Austin FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.

- 65' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Austin FC and Los Angeles FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .

- 70' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Marco Farfan.
- 73' Tristan Blackmon is replacing Raheem Edwards for the Los Angeles FC side.
- 78' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
