Events

Match Events

0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Los Angeles Galaxy launch into their encounter with Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Vancouver Whitecaps FC that had 296 games and scored 464 goals.
10' Los Angeles Galaxy have won 504 goals from 297 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
12' Samuel Grandsir does the damage! The net is bulging and Los Angeles Galaxy surge ahead!
17' 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.
19' A stunning finish from Javier Hernandez — that came from absolutely nowhere!
20' Goal! Javier Hernandez scores his 57 goal in 356 matches.
25' It looks surprising Los Angeles Galaxy does not make any changes. Cristian Dajome has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
30' What composure from Victor Vazquez! The Spain international strokes it home. 4-0.
35' Ryan Raposo has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
38' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Ryan Gauld makes it 4-1.
40' GOAL! Samuel Grandsir fires home to make it 5-1!
45' Vancouver Whitecaps FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Mathias Laborda scoring 1 goals.
46' Tosaint Ricketts is replacing Easton Ongaro for the Vancouver Whitecaps FC side.
51' Gaston Brugman is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Vancouver Whitecaps FC tonight.
56' 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 Alessandro Schopf suffering a number of foals already.
59' Los Angeles Galaxy receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 59.
63' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Julian Araujo.
68' The referee shows Vancouver Whitecaps FC player a Yellow card on 68.
69' The Los Angeles Galaxy bench stirs into life. Samuel Grandsir is withdrawn and Douglas Costa gets his opportunity.
70' Alessandro Schopf is ready to make an impact after coming on for Julian Gressel at the 70 minute mark.
70' The Canada Tosaint Ricketts breaks the deadlock on 70 minutes. 5-2!
71' Raheem Edwards catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 71.
72' Cristian Dajome was booked on 72.
75' Sacha Kljestan is replacing Gaston Brugman for the Los Angeles Galaxy side.
79' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Red card for Cristian Dajome.
83' The whistle greets Andres Cubas as he departs to be replaced by Marcus Godinho.
86' It is a substitution in Los Angeles Galaxy team. Kevin Cabral is replaced by Daniel Aguirre on 86 minute.
89' The deadlock is broken! Efrain Alvarez gets on the scoresheet on 89 minutes.
90' A stunning finish from Efrain Alvarez — that came from absolutely nowhere!
Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 5-2 draw is a fair result on the day.
