Events
Match Events
- 0' The wait is over. Nashville SC get us underway at Dignity Health Sports Park.
- 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
- 10' The energy levels are beginning to show. Greg Vanney might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 15' 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.
- 20' Nashville SC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 25' David Romney has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 30' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 35' It’s high time Greg Vanney made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 40' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Los Angeles Galaxy side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 45' The home supporters are growing impatient. Los Angeles Galaxy must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 50' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 55' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 58' Samuel Grandsir makes way for Douglas Costa at the 58 minute mark. A tactical switch from Los Angeles Galaxy.
- 63' Sean Davis has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 68' 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 Anibal Godoy suffering a number of foals already.
- 73' 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.
- 77' Kevin Cabral makes way for Dejan Joveljic at the 77 minute mark. A tactical switch from Los Angeles Galaxy.
- 82' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 86' Dejan Joveljic puts Los Angeles Galaxy on the lead.
- 87' Another change for Nashville SC made on 87 minute. Charles Sapong leaves to be changed by Ake Arnaud Loba.
- 87' A meaty challenge results in booking for Dejan Joveljic on 87.
- 89' It’s a booking for Los Angeles Galaxy player. Javier Hernandez gets a Yellow card.
- 89' Sacha Kljestan is ready to make an impact after coming on for Javier Hernandez at the 89 minute mark.
- The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Nashville SC.
