Events

Match Events

0' The game is set. Los Angeles Galaxy kicks off things out of here…
5' San Jose Earthquakes fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
7' The referee calls foul for Joseph Paintsil. He receives a card.
12' 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 Tanner Beason suffering a number of foals already.
14' What composure from Gabriel Pec! The Brazil international strokes it home. 1-0.
19' The travelling San Jose Earthquakes supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
24' Joseph Paintsil doubles the advantage! 2-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
29' The 29-year-old Jeremy Ebobisse has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
30' Assisted by Joseph Paintsil with the perfectly-timed delivery and Maya Yoshida makes no mistake. 3-0!
32' What a moment for Rodrigues! That strike on 32 puts his side firmly in control.
37' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
42' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Greg Vanney will be considering his options from the bench.
45' It’s gonna be a card for Cristian Espinoza.
46' The whistle greets Preston Judd as he departs to be replaced by Jeremy Ebobisse.
51' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
54' Carlos Gruezo is having his name booked by the referee on 54.
56' Riqui Puig has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 56 minutes.
57' The crowd applauds Amahl Pellegrino as he leaves the pitch. Benjamin Kikanovic steps in for San Jose Earthquakes.
58' Against the run of play, Benjamin Kikanovic has scored! This game has turned on its head.
61' A change in the Los Angeles Galaxy ranks — Martin Caceres exits the field as Eriq Zavaleta enters on 61.
65' Controversy at the stadium! Vitor Costa argues furiously but the card stands.
66' Edwin Cerrillo makes way for Mauricio Cuevas at the 66 minute mark. A tactical switch from Los Angeles Galaxy.
70' Eriq Zavaleta is having his name booked by the referee on 70.
72' Goal! Jeremy Ebobisse scores his 68 goal in 287 matches.
76' That is a card for San Jose Earthquakes. Jack Skahan will be fuming at that decision.
77' The San Jose Earthquakes bench stirs into life. Carlos Gruezo is withdrawn and Alfredo Morales gets his opportunity.
82' John McCarthy is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for San Jose Earthquakes tonight.
85' A tactical swap from Los Angeles Galaxy — Daniel Aguirre on, Gabriel Pec off on 85 minutes.
87' Another substitution for San Jose Earthquakes to replace Vitor Costa by Ousseni Bouda on 87 minute.
Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 4-3 draw is a fair result on the day.
