Events

Match Events

0' The game is set. Chicago Fire FC kicks off things out of here…
5' Mauricio Pineda has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 37 cards already picked up this season.
7' Riqui Puig does the damage! The net is bulging and Los Angeles Galaxy surge ahead!
12' Chicago Fire FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Los Angeles Galaxy backline.
17' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
22' Chris Brady has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 294 appearances.
27' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
29' Mauricio Pineda has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 29.
32' Hugo Cuypers does the damage! The net is bulging and Chicago Fire FC surge ahead!
37' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Chicago Fire FC that had 294 games and scored 424 goals.
42' 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.
45' That is a card for Los Angeles Galaxy. Edwin Cerrillo will be fuming at that decision.
46' Time for substitution for Chicago Fire FC. Mauricio Pineda is replaced by Arnaud Souquet.
51' Supporters expect more eagerness from Julian Aude, as he is very good at scoring at Soldier Field with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
56' It looks surprising Los Angeles Galaxy does not make any changes. Kellyn Acosta has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
59' The whistle greets Jonathan Perez as he departs to be replaced by Dejan Joveljic.
61' Against the run of play, Brian Gutierrez has scored! This game has turned on its head.
66' Tom Barlow gets the nod from Chicago Fire FC. He replaces Hugo Cuypers and will look to change the dynamic.
71' Jonathan Perez has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 33 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
72' Another change for Los Angeles Galaxy made on 72 minute. Edwin Cerrillo leaves to be changed by Daniel Aguirre.
73' The Los Angeles Galaxy manager makes a substitution. Julian Aude departs to be replaced by Mauricio Cuevas.
74' A meaty challenge results in booking for Fabian Herbers on 74.
76' Time for substitution for Chicago Fire FC. Kellyn Acosta is replaced by Gaston Gimenez.
77' That is a card for Los Angeles Galaxy. Mauricio Cuevas will be fuming at that decision.
82' Diego Fagundez gets the nod from Los Angeles Galaxy. He replaces Miguel Berry and will look to change the dynamic.
85' Another change for Chicago Fire FC made on 85 minute. Brian Gutierrez leaves to be changed by Chris Mueller.
90' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 2-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
