0' The game is set. Los Angeles Galaxy kicks off things out of here…
5' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Los Angeles Galaxy and Vancouver Whitecaps FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
10' Over 10 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
15' The travelling Vancouver Whitecaps FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
20' It looks surprising Vancouver Whitecaps FC does not make any changes. Cristian Dajome has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
25' It’s high time Guillermo Schelotto made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
30' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Guillermo Schelotto will be considering his options from the bench.
34' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Aleksandar Katai.
39' It is a cagey affair so far. Los Angeles Galaxy in their trying to find a way past Vancouver Whitecaps FC's compact .
44' 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 Hwang Inbeom suffering a number of foals already.
46' Los Angeles Galaxy ring the changes. Jonathan dos Santos has done his job and it is now time for Perry Kitchen to step up.
51' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
56' A quiet spell here at Dignity Health Sports Park. Los Angeles Galaxy seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
59' Sebastian Lletget gets the nod from Los Angeles Galaxy. He replaces Aleksandar Katai and will look to change the dynamic.
64' Los Angeles Galaxy are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Vancouver Whitecaps FC's shape.
67' Ryan Raposo is replacing Cristian Dajome for the Vancouver Whitecaps FC side.
68' The referee has no hesitation. Joe Corona is booked for Los Angeles Galaxy — Yellow card on 68.
73' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Janio Bikel made 22 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
74' Tosaint Ricketts puts Vancouver Whitecaps FC on the lead.
75' Joe Corona picks up a Red card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
80' Vancouver Whitecaps FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
83' Sacha Kljestan makes way for Ethan Zubak at the 83 minute mark. A tactical switch from Los Angeles Galaxy.

88' David Bingham is having his name booked by the referee on 88.
89' The Vancouver Whitecaps FC bench stirs into life. Tosaint Ricketts is withdrawn and Fredy Montero gets his opportunity.
