Events
Match Events
- 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Los Angeles Galaxy and Seattle Sounders FC has kicked off!
- 5' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Seattle Sounders FC winning 0% of all matches.
- 8' Time for substitution for Los Angeles Galaxy. Daniel Steres is replaced by Nick DePuy.
- 13' It looks surprising Seattle Sounders FC does not make any changes. Jonathan Bond has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 18' Julian Araujo, a USA defender, has 2 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 21' The deadlock is broken! Sacha Kljestan gets on the scoresheet on 21 minutes.
- 22' What a strike from Sacha Kljestan! The score is 2-0.
- 27' With 0 assists to his name this season, Jimmy Medranda is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Los Angeles Galaxy.
- 32' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 37' A quiet spell here at Dignity Health Sports Park. Seattle Sounders FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 41' Magnificent from Yeimar Gomez! That is 16 goals in 164 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 42' Magnificent from Yeimar Gomez! That is 16 goals in 164 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 47' Joao Paulo has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 49' What a moment for Raul Ruidiaz! That strike on 49 puts his side firmly in control.
- 54' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 59' The 30-year-old Alex Roldan has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 64' It looks like no one’s ball. Seattle Sounders FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 69' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 74' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Abdoulaye Cissoko made 288 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 76' The whistle greets Fredy Montero as he departs to be replaced by Jimmy Medranda.
- 77' The whistle greets Fredy Montero as he departs to be replaced by Jimmy Medranda.
- 79' Efrain Alvarez makes way for Samuel Grandsir at the 79 minute mark. A tactical switch from Los Angeles Galaxy.
- 84' 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 Shane O'Neill suffering a number of foals already.
- 87' The Seattle Sounders FC bench stirs into life. Abdoulaye Cissoko is withdrawn and Danny Leyva gets his opportunity.
- 90' Ethan Zubak has so much to prove this time. He replaces Sebastian Lletget on 90 minute.
- Full Time. Seattle Sounders FC beats Los Angeles Galaxy
