- 0' We are underway at Dick's Sporting Goods Park. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' Colorado Rapids SC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 10' named a 3-4-2-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-3-3 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 20' The home supporters are growing impatient. Colorado Rapids SC must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 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 Giorgio Chiellini suffering a number of foals already.
- 30' Both keepers have barely been tested. Colorado Rapids SC and Los Angeles FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 35' Kellyn Acosta is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Los Angeles FC so far.
- 40' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Los Angeles FC that had 285 games and scored 571 goals.
- 45' The travelling Los Angeles FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 50' With 0 assists to his name this season, John McCarthy is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Los Angeles FC.
- 55' Supporters expect more eagerness from Keegan Rosenberry, as he is very good at scoring at Dick's Sporting Goods Park with 4 goals in the last 4 games.
- 60' Colorado Rapids SC make a change. Diego Rubio trudges off to be replaced by Darren Yapi on 60 minutes.
- 65' It’s a booking for Los Angeles FC player. Aaron Long gets a Yellow card.
- 70' Ilie Sanchez has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 73' Jesus Murillo gets the nod from Los Angeles FC. He replaces Giorgio Chiellini and will look to change the dynamic.
- 74' The whistle greets Carlos Vela as he departs to be replaced by Stipe Biuk.
- 79' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 82' Fresh legs for Los Angeles FC! Jose Cifuentes comes on to replace Timothy Tillman.
- 86' Kevin Cabral is ready to make an impact after coming on for Sam Nicholson at the 86 minute mark.
