20' Portland Timbers 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.
25' Los Angeles Galaxy fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
30' Joe Corona needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 13 Yellow cards this season.

61' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
62' Jonathan dos Santos gets the nod from Los Angeles Galaxy. He replaces Sebastian Lletget and will look to change the dynamic.

71' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Joe Corona makes no mistake. 1-3!
75' Rolf Feltscher is replacing Julian Araujo for the Los Angeles Galaxy side.
78' A change in the Portland Timbers ranks — Pablo Bonilla exits the field as Yimmi Chara enters on 78.

87' Cameron Dunbar is ready to make an impact after coming on for Ethan Zubak at the 87 minute mark.
88' Time for substitution for Portland Timbers. Renzo Zambrano is replaced by Diego Valeri.
