Events
Match Events
- 0' Temperatures are rising at Dignity Health Sports Park as Los Angeles Galaxy face off against Charlotte FC in what promises to be a fascinating contest.
- 5' Los Angeles Galaxy looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
- 10' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Los Angeles Galaxy winning 100% of all matches.
- 15' Lucas Felipe Calegari needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 20' 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 Kerwin Vargas suffering a number of foals already.
- 25' It looks surprising Los Angeles Galaxy does not make any changes. Tyler Boyd has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 30' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 35' named a 4-4-2 earlier, and opted for a 4-3-3 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 40' Los Angeles Galaxy currently sit 29 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 45' Adilson Malanda has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 46' Javier Hernandez has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 46.
- 51' Los Angeles Galaxy seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 56' Charlotte FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 61' The whistle greets Julian Aude as he departs to be replaced by Raheem Edwards.
- 66' Charlotte FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 71' Charlotte FC have won 226 goals from 154 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 73' Karol Swiderski makes no mistake. The score reads 0-1 and Charlotte FC are in front.
- 74' A goal from the Poland international Karol Swiderski! He fires home on 74 to make it 0-2!
- 78' The Los Angeles Galaxy bench stirs into life. Gaston Brugman is withdrawn and Dejan Joveljic gets his opportunity.
- 79' Kerwin Vargas catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 79.
- 80' Brandon Cambridge has so much to prove this time. He replaces Kerwin Vargas on 80 minute.
- 82' The crowd applauds Harrison Afful as he leaves the pitch. Jan Sobocinski steps in for Charlotte FC.
- 85' A moment of madness from Javier Hernandez on 85 minutes earns him a Red card. Los Angeles Galaxy will be frustrated.
- 90' The whistle greets Lucas Felipe Calegari as he departs to be replaced by Kelvin Leerdam.
