Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Los Angeles Galaxy gets underway.
- 5' San Jose Earthquakes come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 10' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
- 20' Los Angeles Galaxy seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 25' Amahl Pellegrino, a Norway , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Gabriel Pec made 286 appearances and scored 36 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 35' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Los Angeles Galaxy and San Jose Earthquakes are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 40' It looks surprising San Jose Earthquakes does not make any changes. Lucas Sanabria has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 45' 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 Ian Harkes suffering a number of foals already.
- 50' USA international John Nelson has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 55' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 59' The Los Angeles Galaxy bench stirs into life. Marco Reus is withdrawn and Diego Fagundez gets his opportunity.
- 64' Los Angeles Galaxy are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined San Jose Earthquakes backline.
- 65' Another change for San Jose Earthquakes made on 65 minute. Josef Martinez leaves to be changed by Preston Judd.
- 66' Time for substitution for San Jose Earthquakes. Amahl Pellegrino is replaced by Ousseni Bouda.
- 69' San Jose Earthquakes player sees a card in front of him.
- 69' It is a substitution in Los Angeles Galaxy team. Mauricio Cuevas is replaced by Miki Yamane on 69 minute.
- 72' The supporters are chanting for Nick Lima. He replaces Benjamin Kikanovic on 72 minute.
- 74' A goal from the Burkina Faso international Ousseni Bouda! He fires home on 74 to make it 0-1!
- 79' The energy levels are beginning to show. Greg Vanney might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 81' The supporters are chanting for Julian Aude. He replaces John Nelson on 81 minute.
- 82' The crowd applauds Lucas Sanabria as he leaves the pitch. Elijah Wynder steps in for Los Angeles Galaxy.
- 87' Beau Leroux has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 90' A moment of madness from Vitor Costa on 90 minutes earns him a card. San Jose Earthquakes will be frustrated.
- Los Angeles Galaxy will have plenty to reflect on. San Jose Earthquakes were simply the better side today.
