Events
Match Events
- 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. New England Revolution is hosting Los Angeles Galaxy for another epic battle.
- 5' With 0 assists to his name this season, Matt Turner is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Los Angeles Galaxy.
- 10' 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 Giovani dos Santos suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' New England Revolution is showing some good football. However, New England Revolution are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 20' It looks surprising Los Angeles Galaxy does not make any changes. Juan Agudelo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 25' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 30' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 35' New England Revolution started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 35.

- 60' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 65' 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.
- 70' Teal Bunbury has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 17 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 75' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 75 minutes.
