Events

Match Events

  • 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.
