25' The 33-year-old Sebastian Lletget has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.

35' Minnesota United FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Kelvin Yeboah scoring 1 goals.
40' 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 Robin Lod suffering a number of foals already.
45' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
50' Los Angeles Galaxy player sees a Yellow card in front of him.

76' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
