Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Lower.com Field will turn into a battlefield for Columbus Crew SC and Los Angeles FC.
- 5' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 10' It looks like no one’s ball. Los Angeles FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 15' Columbus Crew SC is showing some good football. However, Columbus Crew SC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Columbus Crew SC that had 262 games and scored 388 goals.
- 25' Mamadou Fall has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 13 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 30' Columbus Crew SC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 30.
- 35' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Kellyn Acosta.
- 40' 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.
- 41' Sebastien Ibeagha is having his name booked by the referee on 41.
- 46' The supporters are chanting for Brian Rodriguez. He replaces Daniel Musovski on 46 minute.
- 51' Columbus Crew SC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 55' Los Angeles FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 55.
- 60' Los Angeles FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 61' Another change for Los Angeles FC made on 61 minute. Francisco Ginella leaves to be changed by Jose Cifuentes.
- 62' Los Angeles FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Carlos Vela on 62.
- 67' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Columbus Crew SC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 68' Derrick Etienne has so much to prove this time. He replaces James Igbekeme on 68 minute.
- 70' The whistle greets Kellyn Acosta as he departs to be replaced by Daniel Crisostomo.
- 73' What a strike from Jose Cifuentes! The score is 0-2.
- 74' Another substitution for Columbus Crew SC to replace Yaw Yeboah by Luis Diaz on 74 minute.
- 75' A meaty challenge results in booking for Diego Palacios on 75.
- 80' 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 Lucas Zelarayan suffering a number of foals already.
- 85' Brian Rodriguez needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 90' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 90 minutes.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Los Angeles FC players.
