Match Events

0' KICK OFF: Los Angeles Galaxy gets underway.
5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Martin Caceres made 511 appearances and scored 6 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
10' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Los Angeles Galaxy and Seattle Sounders FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
15' It is a cagey affair so far. Los Angeles Galaxy in their 4-1-4-1 trying to find a way past Seattle Sounders FC's compact 4-2-3-1.
20' Seattle Sounders FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
21' A goal from the USA international Jordan Morris! He fires home on 21 to make it 0-1!
26' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
31' It’s high time Greg Vanney made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
35' Leo Chu doubles the advantage! 0-2 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
40' Nouhou Tolo is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Seattle Sounders FC tonight.
45' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
46' Preston Judd is replacing Memo Rodriguez for the Los Angeles Galaxy side.
51' The 31-year-old Marky Delgado has been sensational this season — 1 goals and 1 assists is a remarkable return.
56' Riqui Puig has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 12 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
58' Los Angeles Galaxy receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 58.
60' Another substitution for Seattle Sounders FC to replace Leo Chu by Raul Ruidiaz on 60 minute.
61' The referee has no hesitation. Jackson Ragen is booked for Seattle Sounders FC — Yellow card on 61.
63' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Jalen Neal makes no mistake. 1-2!
68' Seattle Sounders FC ring the changes. Joshua Atencio has done his job and it is now time for Obed Vargas to step up.
73' That is a Yellow card for Seattle Sounders FC. Joao Paulo will be fuming at that decision.
78' Los Angeles Galaxy ring the changes. Tyler Boyd has done his job and it is now time for Douglas Costa to step up.
83' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Los Angeles Galaxy that had 282 games and scored 480 goals.
84' Jonathan Perez gets the nod from Los Angeles Galaxy. He replaces Raheem Edwards and will look to change the dynamic.
86' A meaty challenge results in booking for Nicolas Lodeiro on 86.
90' The Seattle Sounders FC bench stirs into life. Jordan Morris is withdrawn and Xavier Arreaga gets his opportunity.
Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-2 draw is a fair result on the day.
