Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. Los Angeles FC get us underway at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.
  • 5' 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.
  • 10' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Colorado Rapids SC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 15' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 20' Jesus Murillo has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 25' Colorado Rapids SC currently sit 29 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 30' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 35' It looks surprising Los Angeles FC does not make any changes. Ryan Hollingshead has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 40' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 45' Ilie Sanchez has been relatively quiet despite scoring 20 goals in his last 285 appearances.
  • 50' 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 Jose Cifuentes suffering a number of foals already.
  • 55' It is a cagey affair so far. Colorado Rapids SC in their 3-4-2-1 trying to find a way past Los Angeles FC's compact 4-3-3.
  • 60' A change in the Colorado Rapids SC ranks — Diego Rubio exits the field as Darren Yapi enters on 60.
  • 65' That is a Yellow card for Los Angeles FC. Aaron Long will be fuming at that decision.
  • 70' It’s high time Robin Fraser made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 73' A change in the Los Angeles FC ranks — Giorgio Chiellini exits the field as Jesus Murillo enters on 73.
  • 74' Stipe Biuk has so much to prove this time. He replaces Carlos Vela on 74 minute.
  • 79' Bryan Acosta has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 82' Another change for Los Angeles FC made on 82 minute. Timothy Tillman leaves to be changed by Jose Cifuentes.
  • 86' Kevin Cabral is ready to make an impact after coming on for Sam Nicholson at the 86 minute mark.
  • 87' Poor challenge from Michael Barrios. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • will have plenty to reflect on. were simply the better side today.
