- 5' Over 5 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.

- 46' Time for substitution for Los Angeles Galaxy. Raheem Edwards is replaced by Chase Gasper.

- 58' Anderson Julio is replacing Sergio Cordova for the Real Salt Lake side.
- 63' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
