Events

Match Events

  • 20' The home supporters are growing impatient. Los Angeles Galaxy must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 25' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 30' 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 Daniel Gazdag suffering a number of foals already.

  • 59' A tactical swap from Philadelphia Union — Nathan Harriel on, Matt Real off on 59 minutes.
  • 62' Time for substitution for Los Angeles Galaxy. Preston Judd is replaced by Dejan Joveljic.
  • 67' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 68' A meaty challenge results in booking for Douglas Costa on 68.
  • 69' A change in the Philadelphia Union ranks — Leon Flach exits the field as Jack McGlynn enters on 69.
  • 70' Dejan Joveljic picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 75' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 76' Riqui Puig doubles the advantage! 2-2 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.

  • 89' Controversy at the stadium! Daniel Gazdag argues furiously but the card stands.
  • What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — Los Angeles Galaxy 3-1 Philadelphia Union.
