Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Los Angeles FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Nashville SC that had 211 games and scored 305 goals.
- 7' Shaq Moore is having his name booked by the referee on 7.
- 9' Timothy Tillman puts Los Angeles FC on the lead.
- 14' It’s high time Gary Smith made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 18' GOAL! Denis Bouanga scores on 18.
- 23' Nashville SC 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.
- 28' It looks surprising Nashville SC does not make any changes. Elliot Panicco has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 33' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 38' 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.
- 39' The referee shows Los Angeles FC player a card on 39.
- 42' The referee shows Los Angeles FC player a card on 42.
- 43' A meaty challenge results in booking for Dru Yearwood on 43.
- 47' Daniel Lovitz is replacing Taylor Washington for the Nashville SC side.
- 48' What a strike from Denis Bouanga! The score is 3-0.
- 52' The referee shows Los Angeles FC player a card on 52.
- 57' 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 Brent Kallman suffering a number of foals already.
- 62' The referee shows Nashville SC player a card on 62.
- 64' The Nashville SC manager makes a substitution. Tyler Boyd departs to be replaced by Elliot Panicco.
- 66' Another substitution for Los Angeles FC to replace Mateusz Bogusz by Esteban David Martinez on 66 minute.
- 67' Sean Davis is replacing Dru Yearwood for the Nashville SC side.
- 72' Nashville SC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Hany Mukhtar scoring 3 goals.
- 75' GOAL! Cristian Olivera scores on 75. Assisted by Esteban David Martinez
- 76' Nathan Ordaz has so much to prove this time. He replaces Cristian Olivera on 76 minute.
- 77' Orrin McKinze Gaines II is replacing Hany Mukhtar for the Nashville SC side.
- 82' Sean Davis has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 15 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 84' The supporters are chanting for Erik Duenas. He replaces Timothy Tillman on 84 minute.
- 89' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 90' It’s gonna be a card for Nathan Ordaz.
- The final score is 5-0.
