Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: San Jose Earthquakes gets underway.
- 4' It’s gonna be a card for Daniel Lovitz.
- 9' 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 Daniel Lovitz suffering a number of foals already.
- 14' San Jose Earthquakes player sees a card in front of him.
- 19' Nashville SC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Hany Mukhtar on 19.
