Events

Match Events

0' The wait is over. Seattle Sounders FC get us underway at Dignity Health Sports Park.
5' Jonathan Klinsmann has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 477 appearances.
10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Seattle Sounders FC that had 305 games and scored 477 goals.
15' Joshua Atencio has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
20' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
21' Jordan Morris puts Seattle Sounders FC on the lead.
26' Both keepers have barely been tested. Los Angeles Galaxy and Seattle Sounders FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
31' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
35' The deadlock is broken! Leo Chu gets on the scoresheet on 35 minutes.
40' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
45' Seattle Sounders FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
46' Los Angeles Galaxy make a change. Memo Rodriguez trudges off to be replaced by Preston Judd on 46 minutes.
51' Memo Rodriguez has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
56' Los Angeles Galaxy is showing some good football. However, Los Angeles Galaxy are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
58' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Marky Delgado.
60' The Seattle Sounders FC bench stirs into life. Leo Chu is withdrawn and Raul Ruidiaz gets his opportunity.
61' The referee has no hesitation. Jackson Ragen is booked for Seattle Sounders FC — Yellow card on 61.
63' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Jalen Neal makes it 1-2.
68' Another substitution for Seattle Sounders FC to replace Joshua Atencio by Obed Vargas on 68 minute.
73' Seattle Sounders FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 73.
78' Fresh legs for Los Angeles Galaxy! Douglas Costa comes on to replace Tyler Boyd.
83' With 1 assists to his name this season, Dejan Joveljic is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Los Angeles Galaxy.
84' The crowd applauds Raheem Edwards as he leaves the pitch. Jonathan Perez steps in for Los Angeles Galaxy.
86' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Nicolas Lodeiro.
90' The Seattle Sounders FC manager makes a substitution. Jordan Morris departs to be replaced by Xavier Arreaga.
Another three points for Seattle Sounders FC.
