Events

Match Events

  • 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Portland Timbers to score. At the same time, Los Angeles Galaxy does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' Los Angeles Galaxy started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
  • 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 Diego Gutierrez suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' Tyler Boyd has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 20' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 25' With 0 assists to his name this season, Riqui Puig is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Los Angeles Galaxy.
  • 30' 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.
  • 35' Portland Timbers currently sit 23 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 38' Portland Timbers receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 38.
  • 39' Controversy at the stadium! Nathan Fogaca argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 44' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 45' Poor challenge from Riqui Puig. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 48' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Lucas Felipe Calegari.
  • 53' Los Angeles Galaxy looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
  • 55' The referee calls foul for Pablo Bonilla. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 60' Los Angeles Galaxy receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 60.
  • 65' Over 65 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 66' The referee calls foul for Claudio Bravo. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 67' Eric Miller is ready to make an impact after coming on for Pablo Bonilla at the 67 minute mark.

  • 74' The -year-old Nathan Fogaca has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 76' Efrain Alvarez is ready to make an impact after coming on for Tyler Boyd at the 76 minute mark.
  • 80' The supporters are chanting for Justin Rasmussen. He replaces Marvin Loria on 80 minute.
  • 82' Jalen Neal catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 82.
  • 87' Portland Timbers is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
