Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Los Angeles FC gets underway.
  • 5' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 10' 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.
  • 15' It looks like no one’s ball. Philadelphia Union is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 20' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 25' Auston Trusty has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 1 goals to his name this season.
  • 30' Ghana international David Accam has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 35' It looks surprising Los Angeles FC does not make any changes. Adama Diomande has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 40' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 40 minutes.
  • 45' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Warren Creavalle made 294 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 50' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 55' Benny Feilhaber has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 27 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 60' Alejandro Bedoya has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 65' Mark McKenzie needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 70' With 0 assists to his name this season, Latif Blessing is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Philadelphia Union.
  • 75' Over 75 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 80' Los Angeles FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 85' Both keepers have barely been tested. Los Angeles FC and Philadelphia Union are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 90' Fafa Picault is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Philadelphia Union so far.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Los Angeles FC players.
