Events
Match Events
- 0' The wait is over. Los Angeles FC get us underway at .
- 5' Steven Beitashour, a Iran , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 10' It looks surprising Los Angeles FC does not make any changes. Dejan Jakovic has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 15' With 0 assists to his name this season, Marcos Urena is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Colorado Rapids SC.
- 20' Colorado Rapids SC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 2 meetings.
- 25' 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 Giles Barnes suffering a number of foals already.
- 30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Carlos Vela made 294 appearances and scored 94 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 35' Over 35 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 40' Jack Price is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Colorado Rapids SC so far.
- 45' Adama Diomande has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 50' Marlon Hairston has been relatively quiet despite scoring 1 goals in his last 280 appearances.
- 55' Both keepers have barely been tested. Colorado Rapids SC and Los Angeles FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 60' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 65' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 70' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Colorado Rapids SC winning 50% of all matches.
- 75' Los Angeles FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 80' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Anthony Hudson will be considering his options from the bench.
- 85' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 90' Andre Horta has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — Colorado Rapids SC 0-3 Los Angeles FC.
