- 5' France international Hugo Lloris has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 10' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 15' Both keepers have barely been tested. Los Angeles FC and San Diego FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 20' Anders Dreyer needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 11 Yellow cards this season.
- 21' Denis Bouanga does the damage! The net is bulging and Los Angeles FC surge ahead!
- 26' Los Angeles FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined San Diego FC backline.
- 29' That is a card for San Diego FC. Alejandro Alvarado will be fuming at that decision.
- 34' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 39' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. San Diego FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 44' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
