- 5' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 10' Los Angeles FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against FC Dallas's shape.
- 15' Los Angeles FC is showing some good football. However, Los Angeles FC 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 referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 25' Victor Ulloa is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Los Angeles FC tonight.
- 30' Both keepers have barely been tested. Los Angeles FC and FC Dallas are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 35' It looks surprising FC Dallas does not make any changes. Kellyn Acosta has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 40' Steven Beitashour has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 45' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 50' The energy levels are beginning to show. Óscar Pareja might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 55' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Carlos Vela made 304 appearances and scored 94 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 60' Latif Blessing has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 37 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 65' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?

- 75' The 31-year-old Santiago Mosquera has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 80' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 85' It looks like no one’s ball. FC Dallas is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.

- celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
