Events

Match Events

0' Three points are at stake. Los Angeles Galaxy host Vancouver Whitecaps FC — let the battle begin!
5' Vancouver Whitecaps FC 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.
10' Vancouver Whitecaps FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Mathias Laborda scoring 1 goals.
15' Both keepers have barely been tested. Los Angeles Galaxy and Vancouver Whitecaps FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
20' Vancouver Whitecaps FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
25' The energy levels are beginning to show. Jesper Sørensen might look to freshen things up shortly.
26' Mauricio Cuevas was booked on 26.
31' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Greg Vanney will be considering his options from the bench.
32' It’s gonna be a card for Andres Cubas.
37' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Los Angeles Galaxy that had 295 games and scored 500 goals.
42' Jacob Glesnes has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
46' Joseph Paintsil makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and Los Angeles Galaxy are in front.
51' Emmanuel Sabbi has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 8 appearances with only 3 goals this season.
56' Los Angeles Galaxy currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
61' named a 4-1-4-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
65' Lucas Sanabria was booked on 65.
66' Poor challenge from Edier Ocampo. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
67' That looks like a foul for a card for Edwin Cerrillo.
72' Vancouver Whitecaps FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
77' A quiet spell here at Dignity Health Sports Park. Vancouver Whitecaps FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
81' The deadlock is broken! Mathias Laborda gets on the scoresheet on 81 minutes.
82' GOAL! Mathias Laborda scores on 82. Assisted by Sebastian Berhalter
84' The referee shows Vancouver Whitecaps FC player a card on 84.
87' Tristan Blackmon was booked on 87.
90' Los Angeles Galaxy player sees a card in front of him.
Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
