Events

Match Events

0' KICK OFF: Los Angeles Galaxy gets underway.
5' 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 Mike Grella suffering a number of foals already.
10' Los Angeles Galaxy is showing some good football. However, Los Angeles Galaxy are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
15' Supporters expect more eagerness from Giovani dos Santos, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
20' Columbus Crew SC 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.
25' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
30' The travelling Columbus Crew SC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
35' It’s high time Gregg Berhalter made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
40' Columbus Crew SC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Diego Rossi scoring 1 goals.
45' Los Angeles Galaxy is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
50' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Columbus Crew SC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
55' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
60' 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.
65' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. David Romney made 278 appearances and scored 9 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
70' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Columbus Crew SC winning 100% of all matches.
75' It looks surprising Columbus Crew SC does not make any changes. Mickael Ciani has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
80' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 80 minutes.
85' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
90' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Los Angeles Galaxy players.
