- 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Chicago Fire FC and Seattle Sounders FC has kicked off!
- 5' 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 Fredy Montero suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' It’s high time Ezra Hendrickson made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
