Events

Match Events

0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Chicago Fire FC to score. At the same time, Los Angeles Galaxy does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
5' 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.
7' Riqui Puig puts Los Angeles Galaxy on the lead.
12' 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.
17' Chicago Fire FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
22' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Chicago Fire FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
27' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
29' It’s gonna be a card for Mauricio Pineda.
32' Goal! Hugo Cuypers scores his 76 goal in 223 matches.
37' Allan Arigoni needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
42' Chicago Fire 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.
45' It’s gonna be a card for Edwin Cerrillo.
46' Arnaud Souquet is replacing Mauricio Pineda for the Chicago Fire FC side.
51' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
56' Fabian Herbers has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 15 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
59' The Los Angeles Galaxy manager makes a substitution. Jonathan Perez departs to be replaced by Dejan Joveljic.
61' Goal! Brian Gutierrez scores his 19 goal in 275 matches.
66' The supporters are chanting for Tom Barlow. He replaces Hugo Cuypers on 66 minute.
71' 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 Maya Yoshida suffering a number of foals already.
72' Time for substitution for Los Angeles Galaxy. Edwin Cerrillo is replaced by Daniel Aguirre.
73' The Los Angeles Galaxy manager makes a substitution. Julian Aude departs to be replaced by Mauricio Cuevas.
74' Chicago Fire FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 74.
76' The supporters are chanting for Gaston Gimenez. He replaces Kellyn Acosta on 76 minute.
77' It’s a booking for Los Angeles Galaxy player. Mauricio Cuevas gets a card.
82' The whistle greets Miguel Berry as he departs to be replaced by Diego Fagundez.
85' Chicago Fire FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Chris Mueller is hanging Brian Gutierrez on the field on 85 minute.
90' It looks surprising Los Angeles Galaxy does not make any changes. Maren Haile-Selassie has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Chicago Fire FC players.
