Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. Minnesota United FC get us underway at Banc of California Stadium.
  • 4' What composure from Hassani Dotson! The USA international strokes it home. 0-1.
  • 6' Magnificent from Denis Bouanga! That is 126 goals in 340 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 11' Minnesota United FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Joaquin Pereyra scoring 2 goals.
  • 16' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 21' Dayne St. Clair is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Minnesota United FC so far.
  • 26' Minnesota United FC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 2 meetings.
  • 31' Miguel Tapias has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 10 cards already picked up this season.
  • 36' What a moment for Denis Bouanga! That strike on 36 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 39' That looks like a foul for a card for Emanuel Reynoso.
  • 44' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 46' Against the run of play, Denis Bouanga has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 46' The Minnesota United FC manager makes a substitution. Ethan Bristow departs to be replaced by Bakaye Dibassy.
  • 51' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 56' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Los Angeles FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 61' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Los Angeles FC that had 304 games and scored 599 goals.
  • 63' Ryan Hollingshead is replacing Diego Palacios for the Los Angeles FC side.
  • 66' Minnesota United FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Mender Garcia is hanging Teemu Pukki on the field on 66 minute.
  • 67' GOAL! Filip Krastev fires home to make it 4-1!
  • 69' Stipe Biuk is replacing Carlos Vela for the Los Angeles FC side.
  • 72' Sang-bin Jeong has so much to prove this time. He replaces Emanuel Reynoso on 72 minute.
  • 75' The supporters are chanting for Mario Gonzalez. He replaces Denis Bouanga on 75 minute.
  • 80' Both keepers have barely been tested. Los Angeles FC and Minnesota United FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 85' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Bongokuhle Hlongwane made 301 appearances and scored 26 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 90' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Minnesota United FC winning 50% of all matches.
  • The referee brings this contest to a close. Los Angeles FC take all three points.
