- 5' Los Angeles Galaxy started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
- 10' 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 J.T. Marcinkowski suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 20' Minnesota United FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Kelvin Yeboah scoring 1 goals.

- 30' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 30 minutes.

- 51' Minnesota United FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Anthony Markanich on 51.
- 56' 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.
