  • 10' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kei Kamara made 283 appearances and scored 51 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 20' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 25' The referee shows Los Angeles FC player a card on 25.
  • 30' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Houston Dynamo that had 283 games and scored 394 goals.
  • 35' Olivier Giroud is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Los Angeles FC tonight.
  • 40' Ryan Hollingshead has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 1 goals to his name this season.
  • 45' Hector Herrera picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.

  • 67' It is a substitution in Los Angeles FC team. Kei Kamara is replaced by Nathan Ordaz on 67 minute.
  • 68' A change in the Houston Dynamo ranks — Sebastian Kowalczyk exits the field as Adalberto Carrasquilla enters on 68.
  • 73' It looks surprising Houston Dynamo does not make any changes. Sergi Palencia has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
