Match Events

0' It’s Showtime! The match between Los Angeles Galaxy and Vancouver Whitecaps FC is underway.
5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Lucas Sanabria made 16 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
15' Mathias Laborda needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 1 Red cards this season.
20' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
25' Supporters expect more eagerness from Emmanuel Sabbi, as he is very good at scoring at Dignity Health Sports Park with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
26' It’s a booking for Los Angeles Galaxy player. Mauricio Cuevas gets a card.
31' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
32' That looks like a foul for a card for Andres Cubas.
37' It’s high time Jesper Sørensen made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
42' Vancouver Whitecaps FC is showing some good football. However, Vancouver Whitecaps FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
46' Goal! Joseph Paintsil scores his 59 goal in 316 matches.
51' It looks surprising Vancouver Whitecaps FC does not make any changes. Yohei Takaoka has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
56' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
61' It looks like no one’s ball. Vancouver Whitecaps FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
65' Los Angeles Galaxy player sees a card in front of him.
66' Vancouver Whitecaps FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 66.
67' Edwin Cerrillo was booked on 67.
72' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
77' Los Angeles Galaxy is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
81' GOAL! Mathias Laborda scores on 81. Assisted by Sebastian Berhalter
82' Mathias Laborda with the second goal in the match!
