5' It looks surprising Los Angeles Galaxy does not make any changes. Nelson Palacio has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
10' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
15' Over 15 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
17' Real Salt Lake ring the changes. Bode Davis has done his job and it is now time for Andrew Brody to step up.
18' It’s a booking for Los Angeles Galaxy player. Julian Aude gets a card.
20' What a strike from Cristian Arango! The score is 0-1.
23' The referee shows Real Salt Lake player a card on 23.
28' Los Angeles Galaxy looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Marco Reus scoring 2 goals.
33' Supporters expect more eagerness from Alexandros Katranis, as he is very good at scoring at Dignity Health Sports Park with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
38' Real Salt Lake fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
40' A goal from the Colombia international Cristian Arango! He fires home on 40 to make it 0-2!

54' GOAL! Gabriel Pec fires home to make it 1-2!
59' With 0 assists to his name this season, Anderson Julio is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Los Angeles Galaxy.
64' Both keepers have barely been tested. Los Angeles Galaxy and Real Salt Lake are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
68' Miguel Berry has so much to prove this time. He replaces Dejan Joveljic on 68 minute.
72' The Real Salt Lake bench stirs into life. Matt Crooks is withdrawn and Anderson Julio gets his opportunity.
77' Fidel Barajas has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
80' Edwin Cerrillo has so much to prove this time. He replaces Gaston Brugman on 80 minute.
84' Nelson Palacio is ready to make an impact after coming on for Cristian Arango at the 84 minute mark.
