Events

Match Events

0' Portland Timbers have kicked off against Los Angeles Galaxy. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
5' The travelling Los Angeles Galaxy supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
10' 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 Giancarlo Gonzalez suffering a number of foals already.
15' It looks surprising Los Angeles Galaxy does not make any changes. Ema Boateng has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
16' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Cristhian Paredes.
21' Julio Cascante has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
24' Renzo Zambrano has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 24.
29' Los Angeles Galaxy looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Marco Reus scoring 1 goals.
34' The 32-year-old Renzo Zambrano has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
37' Cristhian Paredes doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
41' Goal! Diego Valeri scores his 43 goal in 307 matches.
42' It’s a booking for Portland Timbers player. Diego Valeri gets a Yellow card.
47' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Los Angeles Galaxy that had 297 games and scored 504 goals.
52' 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.
56' Los Angeles Galaxy ring the changes. Julian Araujo has done his job and it is now time for Sebastian Lletget to step up.
58' The referee shows Los Angeles Galaxy player a Yellow card on 58.
61' Controversy at the stadium! Rolf Feltscher argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
66' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Los Angeles Galaxy winning 50% of all matches.
69' Time for substitution for Los Angeles Galaxy. Fabio Alvarez is replaced by Efrain Alvarez.
74' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Portland Timbers and Los Angeles Galaxy are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
76' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
78' The crowd applauds Brian Fernandez as he leaves the pitch. Marvin Loria steps in for Portland Timbers.
80' The supporters are chanting for Ema Boateng. He replaces Uriel Antuna on 80 minute.
81' What composure from Cristhian Paredes! The Paraguay international strokes it home. 3-0.
82' The supporters are chanting for Andres Flores. He replaces Diego Valeri on 82 minute.
84' It’s a booking for Los Angeles Galaxy player. Efrain Alvarez gets a Red card.
88' Against the run of play, Jeremy Ebobisse has scored! This game has turned on its head.
90' Poor challenge from Diego Polenta. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Red card.
90' Portland Timbers ring the changes. Sebastian Blanco has done his job and it is now time for Dairon Asprilla to step up.
Another three points for Portland Timbers.
