Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to Subaru Park that hosts another battle between Philadelphia Union and Los Angeles FC.
  • 2' That looks like a foul for a card for Aaron Long.
  • 7' It looks surprising Philadelphia Union does not make any changes. Diego Palacios has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 12' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jesus Murillo made 285 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 17' Denil Maldonado needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 22' Philadelphia Union seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 66' 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.
