Events
Match Events
- 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Philadelphia Union is hosting Los Angeles FC for another epic battle.
- 2' That looks like a foul for a card for Aaron Long.
- 7' It looks surprising Los Angeles FC does not make any changes. Diego Palacios has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 12' 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 Stipe Biuk suffering a number of foals already.
- 17' It looks like no one’s ball. Los Angeles FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 22' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 27' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Los Angeles FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
