5' The travelling Los Angeles Galaxy supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
10' The home supporters are growing impatient. Portland Timbers must find a spark to ignite this game.
15' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
20' 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.
25' Los Angeles Galaxy is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
30' It looks surprising Portland Timbers does not make any changes. Tyler Boyd has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
35' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
38' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Nathan Fogaca on 38 minutes.
39' Nathan Fogaca was booked on 39.
44' Preston Judd has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 33 appearances with only 14 goals this season.

60' Tyler Boyd catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 60.
65' Los Angeles Galaxy 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.
66' Controversy at the stadium! Claudio Bravo argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
67' Fresh legs for Portland Timbers! Eric Miller comes on to replace Pablo Bonilla.
69' Memo Rodriguez picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
74' Los Angeles Galaxy is showing some good football. However, Los Angeles Galaxy are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
76' Another change for Los Angeles Galaxy made on 76 minute. Tyler Boyd leaves to be changed by Efrain Alvarez.
80' Portland Timbers manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Justin Rasmussen is hanging Marvin Loria on the field on 80 minute.
