Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Los Angeles FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' France international Samuel Grandsir has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
- 11' Javier Hernandez doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 16' Jose Cifuentes has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 20' The referee shows Los Angeles Galaxy player a Yellow card on 20.
- 25' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 30' 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.
- 35' Daniel Steres has been relatively quiet despite scoring 13 goals in his last 278 appearances.
- 40' Derrick Williams has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 1 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 42' Adam Saldana has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 42.
- 44' Javier Hernandez was booked on 44.
- 46' Jose Cifuentes makes way for Kwadwo Opoku at the 46 minute mark. A tactical switch from Los Angeles FC.
- 51' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 54' The Los Angeles Galaxy manager makes a substitution. Adam Saldana departs to be replaced by Carlos Harvey.
- 55' Carlos Harvey is ready to make an impact after coming on for Adam Saldana at the 55 minute mark.
- 60' The 27-year-old Francisco Ginella has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 62' A stunning finish from Diego Rossi — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 63' A stunning finish from Diego Rossi — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 63' Los Angeles Galaxy ring the changes. Samuel Grandsir has done his job and it is now time for Sacha Kljestan to step up.
- 68' It looks like no one’s ball. Los Angeles Galaxy is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 70' The whistle greets Eddie Segura as he departs to be replaced by Kim Moonhwan.
- 75' The Los Angeles Galaxy bench stirs into life. Sebastian Lletget is withdrawn and Efrain Alvarez gets his opportunity.
- 79' Magnificent from Jonathan dos Santos! That is 8 goals in 278 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 80' A meaty challenge results in booking for Jonathan dos Santos on 80.
- 80' Another substitution for Los Angeles FC to replace Latif Blessing by Francisco Ginella on 80 minute.
- 81' Another change for Los Angeles FC made on 81 minute. Latif Blessing leaves to be changed by Francisco Ginella.
- 82' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Tristan Blackmon.
- 83' It’s a booking for Los Angeles Galaxy player. Carlos Harvey gets a Yellow card.
- 88' Los Angeles Galaxy currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 90' Controversy at the stadium! Julian Araujo argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 2-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
