Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Los Angeles Galaxy gets underway.
- 5' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 10' David Bingham is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Philadelphia Union tonight.
- 15' Kai Wagner has been relatively quiet despite scoring 9 goals in his last 305 appearances.
- 20' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 23' Another change for Philadelphia Union made on 23 minute. Marco Fabian leaves to be changed by Fafa Picault.
- 27' GOAL! Zlatan Ibrahimovic fires home to make it 1-0!
- 32' Over 32 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 36' What composure from Zlatan Ibrahimovic! The Sweden international strokes it home. 2-0.
- 41' Los Angeles Galaxy currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 45' That is a Yellow card for Philadelphia Union. Kai Wagner will be fuming at that decision.
- 47' Philadelphia Union receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 47.
- 52' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 52 minutes.
- 57' Mark McKenzie needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 62' Poor challenge from Sebastian Lletget. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 65' The whistle greets Rolf Feltscher as he departs to be replaced by Julian Araujo.
- 69' Ilsinho has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ray Gaddis on 69 minute.
- 74' It looks surprising Philadelphia Union does not make any changes. Brenden Aaronson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 75' Los Angeles Galaxy ring the changes. Uriel Antuna has done his job and it is now time for Ema Boateng to step up.
- 76' Auston Trusty has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Red card on 76.
- 78' Another substitution for Philadelphia Union to replace Brenden Aaronson by Mark McKenzie on 78 minute.
- 83' Los Angeles Galaxy started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 83.
- 88' The travelling Philadelphia Union supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 90' The whistle greets Romain Alessandrini as he departs to be replaced by Juninho.
- 2-0 the final result. Philadelphia Union will be bitterly disappointed.
