10' The El Salvador Eriq Zavaleta breaks the deadlock on 10 minutes. 1-1!
13' That looks like a foul for a card for Marky Delgado.
18' named a 4-3-3 earlier, and opted for a 4-3-3 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
23' Los Angeles Galaxy are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
28' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
33' Over 33 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
36' It is a substitution in Portland Timbers team. Cristhian Paredes is replaced by Noel Caliskan on 36 minute.
38' A goal from the El Salvador international Eriq Zavaleta! He fires home on 38 to make it 2-1!
43' Brilliant from the ! Douglas Costa makes it 3-1 with a superb finish on 43.

88' With 0 assists to his name this season, Claudio Bravo is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Los Angeles Galaxy.
