- 30' 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.
- 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 Laurent Ciman suffering a number of foals already.

- 85' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Diego Rossi made 285 appearances and scored 99 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
