Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Banc of California Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Los Angeles FC and Los Angeles Galaxy.
- 5' Los Angeles FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Los Angeles Galaxy backline.
- 10' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 15' The 31-year-old Nick DePuy has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 20' It looks like no one’s ball. Los Angeles Galaxy is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 25' Los Angeles Galaxy are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 26' A stunning finish from Ethan Zubak — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 31' With 0 assists to his name this season, Mark-Anthony Kaye is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Los Angeles Galaxy.
- 36' Latif Blessing has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 41' 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 Rolf Feltscher suffering a number of foals already.
- 46' Los Angeles FC ring the changes. Brian Rodriguez has done his job and it is now time for Jose Cifuentes to step up.
- 51' Controversy at the stadium! Tristan Blackmon argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- 54' A goal from the USA international Sebastian Lletget! He fires home on 54 to make it 0-2!
- 58' Los Angeles FC make a change. Carlos Vela trudges off to be replaced by Adrien Perez on 58 minutes.
- 63' Los Angeles Galaxy is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 65' Jonathan dos Santos gets the nod from Los Angeles Galaxy. He replaces Ethan Zubak and will look to change the dynamic.
- 66' Poor challenge from Perry Kitchen. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 71' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 76' It is a substitution in Los Angeles Galaxy team. Julian Araujo is replaced by Efrain Alvarez on 76 minute.
- 81' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 82' Los Angeles Galaxy make a change. Sebastian Lletget trudges off to be replaced by Sacha Kljestan on 82 minutes.
- 87' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Los Angeles FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 90' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Mohamed El Mounir on 90 minutes.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Los Angeles Galaxy players.
