Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Portland Timbers kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Carlos Vela puts Los Angeles FC on the lead.
- 10' It looks surprising Los Angeles FC does not make any changes. Kenneth Vermeer has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 15' Portland Timbers have won 498 goals from 307 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 20' The 35-year-old Chris Duvall has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 25' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 27' It’s a booking for Los Angeles FC player. Latif Blessing gets a Yellow card.
- 31' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Diego Valeri on 31 minutes.
- 36' Latif Blessing has been relatively quiet despite scoring 26 goals in his last 304 appearances.
- 41' Dairon Asprilla has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 1 cards already picked up this season.
- 46' It is a substitution in Los Angeles FC team. Jesus Murillo is replaced by Dejan Jakovic on 46 minute.
- 51' Eddie Segura is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Los Angeles FC so far.
- 56' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 61' Portland Timbers looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Kristoffer Velde scoring 1 goals.
- 63' The referee has no hesitation. Christian Torres is booked for Los Angeles FC — Yellow card on 63.
- 67' Dairon Asprilla is ready to make an impact after coming on for Marvin Loria at the 67 minute mark.
- 72' Los Angeles FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 72.
- 76' Brian Rodriguez is replacing Christian Torres for the Los Angeles FC side.
- 77' It is a substitution in Portland Timbers team. Chris Duvall is replaced by Marco Farfan on 77 minute.
- 81' A meaty challenge results in booking for Dairon Asprilla on 81.
- 86' 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 Diego Valeri suffering a number of foals already.
- 88' It is a substitution in Los Angeles FC team. Jose Cifuentes is replaced by Mark-Anthony Kaye on 88 minute.
- 90' The USA Jorge Villafana breaks the deadlock on 90 minutes. 1-1!
- 90' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Larrys Mabiala on 90 minutes.
- Game over. The scoreline of 1-1 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
