Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for D.C. United SC to score. At the same time, Los Angeles Galaxy does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
- 10' 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.
- 15' It looks surprising D.C. United SC does not make any changes. Julian Aude has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 20' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Los Angeles Galaxy needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 25' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 30' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering D.C. United SC that had 257 games and scored 354 goals.
- 35' 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 Felipe Calegari suffering a number of foals already.
- 40' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 45' Memo Rodriguez is having his name booked by the referee on 45.
- 50' It looks like no one’s ball. D.C. United SC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 55' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 60' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Memo Rodriguez made 253 appearances and scored 20 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 63' The Los Angeles Galaxy manager makes a substitution. Tyler Boyd departs to be replaced by Raheem Edwards.
- 65' Donovan Pines was booked on 65.
- 68' Cristian Dajome is replacing Theodore Ku-DiPietro for the D.C. United SC side.
- 71' GOAL! Christian Benteke scores on 71.

- 74' Dejan Joveljic has so much to prove this time. He replaces Memo Rodriguez on 74 minute.
- 79' The travelling Los Angeles Galaxy supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 80' Goal! Mateusz Klich scores his 30 goal in 347 matches.
- 82' Jacob Greene is replacing Gaoussou Samake for the D.C. United SC side.
- 84' Oriol Rosell is replacing Julian Aude for the Los Angeles Galaxy side.
- 87' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Marky Delgado.
- 89' The supporters are chanting for Brendan Hines-Ike. He replaces Russell Canouse on 89 minute.
