Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at !
  • 5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 10' 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 Anthony Fontana suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' Eduard Atuesta needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 20' Both keepers have barely been tested. Los Angeles FC and Philadelphia Union are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 25' Los Angeles FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 30' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 35' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 40' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 40 minutes.
  • 45' The home supporters are growing impatient. Los Angeles FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 50' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Latif Blessing made 289 appearances and scored 26 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 55' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 60' The energy levels are beginning to show. Bob Bradley might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 65' It looks surprising Los Angeles FC does not make any changes. Keegan Rosenberry has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 70' Adama Diomande has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 75' Fafa Picault has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 80' Belgium international Laurent Ciman has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 85' The 39-year-old Alejandro Bedoya has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 1 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 90' Philadelphia Union is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • It finishes all square. Los Angeles FC and Philadelphia Union share the spoils 4-1.
