Events

Match Events

0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at BMO Stadium!
5' Portland Timbers looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Kristoffer Velde scoring 1 goals.
10' The travelling Portland Timbers supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Portland Timbers that had 296 games and scored 480 goals.
20' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Portland Timbers winning 50% of all matches.
25' Supporters expect more eagerness from Juan Mosquera, as he is very good at scoring at BMO Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
30' The home supporters are growing impatient. Los Angeles FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
35' 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.
40' David Pereira da Costa has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 3 goals to his name this season.
45' The deadlock is broken! Cristhian Paredes gets on the scoresheet on 45 minutes.
50' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
55' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
60' Los Angeles FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 60.
65' Controversy at the stadium! Cristhian Paredes argues furiously but the card stands.
70' A moment of madness from Nkosi Burgess on 70 minutes earns him a card. Los Angeles FC will be frustrated.
75' It is a substitution in Portland Timbers team. Santiago Moreno is replaced by Ariel Lassiter on 75 minute.
80' Brazil international Igor has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
85' Another change for Portland Timbers made on 85 minute. David Pereira da Costa leaves to be changed by Omir Fernandez.
88' Eric Miller is replacing Juan Mosquera for the Portland Timbers side.
90' The Los Angeles FC bench stirs into life. Timothy Tillman is withdrawn and Frankie Amaya gets his opportunity.
Game over. The scoreline of 0-1 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
