Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Philadelphia Union gets underway.
- 5' San Jose Earthquakes 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.
- 10' It’s high time Jim Curtin made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 15' The 31-year-old Nick Lima has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 20' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 25' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with San Jose Earthquakes winning 100% of all matches.
- 30' San Jose Earthquakes is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 35' The energy levels are beginning to show. Mikael Stahre might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 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 Fatai Alashe suffering a number of foals already.
- 45' The travelling San Jose Earthquakes supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 50' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Philadelphia Union side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 55' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Philadelphia Union and San Jose Earthquakes are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 60' Over 60 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 65' It looks surprising San Jose Earthquakes does not make any changes. Haris Medunjanin has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 70' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 75' Philadelphia Union currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 80' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 85' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 90' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
