  • 5' With 0 assists to his name this season, Ema Boateng is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Los Angeles Galaxy.
  • 10' Colorado Rapids SC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Los Angeles Galaxy's shape.
  • 15' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 20' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 25' Colorado Rapids SC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
  • 30' The travelling Los Angeles Galaxy supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 35' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Colorado Rapids SC that had 275 games and scored 396 goals.
  • 40' It looks like no one’s ball. Los Angeles Galaxy is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 45' USA international Sebastian Lletget has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 50' Daniel Steres has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 55' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 60' It’s high time Sigi Schmid made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 65' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 70' 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 Sam Nicholson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 75' Alex Colonna, a Italy , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 80' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Anthony Hudson will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 85' It is a cagey affair so far. Colorado Rapids SC in their trying to find a way past Los Angeles Galaxy's compact .
  • 90' Ola Kamara has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • Los Angeles Galaxy will have plenty to reflect on. Colorado Rapids SC were simply the better side today.
