Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at !

  • 10' Los Angeles FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 15' The energy levels are beginning to show. Bob Bradley might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 20' 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.
  • 25' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 30' Los Angeles FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Orlando City SC backline.
  • 35' It looks surprising Orlando City SC does not make any changes. Laurent Ciman has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 40' It’s high time Bobby Murphy made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 45' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Orlando City SC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 50' Los Angeles FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Denis Bouanga scoring 3 goals.
  • 55' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 60' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 65' Both keepers have barely been tested. Los Angeles FC and Orlando City SC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 70' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Los Angeles FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 75' Los Angeles FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 75.
  • 80' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 85' Oriol Rosell has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 22 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 90' 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 Mark-Anthony Kaye suffering a number of foals already.
