Events

Match Events

0' In just a few seconds Q2 Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Austin FC and Los Angeles FC.
5' Both keepers have barely been tested. Austin FC and Los Angeles FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
10' Nathan Ordaz needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
13' Timothy Tillman doubles the advantage! 0-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
18' It is a cagey affair so far. Austin FC in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past Los Angeles FC's compact 4-3-3.
23' USA international Erik Duenas has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
28' With 0 assists to his name this season, Carlos Vela is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Los Angeles FC.
33' Austin FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
38' Ryan Hollingshead is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Los Angeles FC so far.
43' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.

54' What a strike from Denis Bouanga! The score is 0-3.
59' 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 Cristian Olivera suffering a number of foals already.
