- 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
- 7' GOAL! Riqui Puig scores on 7.
- 12' Chicago Fire FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 12.
- 17' The travelling Los Angeles Galaxy supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 22' It looks like no one’s ball. Chicago Fire FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 27' Chris Mueller has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 10 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 29' Chicago Fire FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 29.
- 32' What an equalizer from Hugo Cuypers!
- 37' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 42' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 45' That looks like a foul for a card for Edwin Cerrillo.
- 46' Time for substitution for Chicago Fire FC. Mauricio Pineda is replaced by Arnaud Souquet.
- 51' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
