- 15' GOAL! Tyler Boyd scores on 15. Assisted by Marky Delgado
- 20' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 25' It looks surprising Philadelphia Union does not make any changes. Douglas Costa has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 30' It looks like no one’s ball. Philadelphia Union is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 35' Philadelphia Union 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.
- 36' What a strike from Mikkel Uhre! The score is 1-1.
- 37' Alejandro Bedoya was booked on 37.
- 42' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jack McGlynn, as he is very good at scoring at Dignity Health Sports Park with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 45' Goal! Olivier Mbaizo scores his 3 goal in 286 matches.
- 45' It’s a booking for Los Angeles Galaxy player. Preston Judd gets a card.
- 50' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Philadelphia Union that had 286 games and scored 477 goals.
- 55' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Los Angeles Galaxy needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 59' The supporters are chanting for Nathan Harriel. He replaces Matt Real on 59 minute.

- 77' Daniel Aguirre is replacing Tyler Boyd for the Los Angeles Galaxy side.
- 82' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 87' 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 Nathan Harriel suffering a number of foals already.
- 89' A meaty challenge results in booking for Daniel Gazdag on 89.
- The final score is 3-1.
