- 0' The game is set. Los Angeles Galaxy kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
- 10' FC Cincinnati is taking the lead after the goal scored by Ender Echenique on 10.
- 15' 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 Novak Micovic suffering a number of foals already.
- 20' 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.
- 22' GOAL! Brenner scores on 22. Assisted by Evander
- 27' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 32' Los Angeles Galaxy started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 32.
