  • 12' Over 12 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 17' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 22' A quiet spell here at Dignity Health Sports Park. Los Angeles Galaxy seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 27' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-4-2 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.

  • 34' What composure from Douglas Costa! The Brazil international strokes it home. 2-0.
  • 39' Los Angeles Galaxy are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against Real Salt Lake's 4-4-2 shape.

  • 66' It’s a booking for Los Angeles Galaxy player. Tony Alfaro gets a card.
  • 71' It is a cagey affair so far. Los Angeles Galaxy in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past Real Salt Lake's compact 4-4-2.
  • 72' Los Angeles Galaxy ring the changes. Tyler Boyd has done his job and it is now time for Jonathan Perez to step up.

  • 81' The 23-year-old Carlos Gomez has been sensational this season — 3 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
