- 18' Controversy at the stadium! Jimer Fory argues furiously but the card stands.
- 23' Portland Timbers is showing some good football. However, Portland Timbers are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 28' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 33' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Portland Timbers and Los Angeles FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .

- 71' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
