Events
Match Events
- 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Portland Timbers is hosting Los Angeles Galaxy for another epic battle.
- 5' Miguel Berry has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 10' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 15' Over 15 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 20' 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 Julian Aude suffering a number of foals already.
- 25' Portland Timbers are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 26' It’s gonna be a card for Jimer Fory.
- 31' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 36' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 41' Los Angeles Galaxy has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 2 meetings.
- 46' Supporters expect more eagerness from Maya Yoshida, as he is very good at scoring at Providence Park with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 47' Controversy at the stadium! Harbor Miller argues furiously but the card stands.
- 49' What a moment for Felipe Mora! That strike on 49 puts his side firmly in control.
- 54' The travelling Los Angeles Galaxy supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 59' 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.
- 64' Miki Yamane has so much to prove this time. He replaces Harbor Miller on 64 minute.
- 69' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 73' A change in the Los Angeles Galaxy ranks — Miguel Berry exits the field as Christian Ramirez enters on 73.
- 74' Kevin Kelsy is ready to make an impact after coming on for Felipe Mora at the 74 minute mark.
- 79' Another substitution for Portland Timbers to replace David Pereira da Costa by Ariel Lassiter on 79 minute.
- 81' GOAL! Christian Ramirez scores on 81. Assisted by Zanka
