- 0' And we are off! Portland Timbers vs San Jose Earthquakes — let the football do the talking.
- 5' Vako Qazaishvili is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Portland Timbers tonight.
- 10' The energy levels are beginning to show. Giovanni Savarese might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 20' Over 20 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 25' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 30' Portland Timbers are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against San Jose Earthquakes's shape.
- 35' 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 Dairon Asprilla suffering a number of foals already.
- 40' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 45' San Jose Earthquakes is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 50' Jamaica international Alvas Powell has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 55' With 0 assists to his name this season, Kevin Partida is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Portland Timbers.
- 60' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 65' Jimmy Ockford, a United States , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 70' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 75' Andrew Tarbell has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 80' It looks like no one’s ball. San Jose Earthquakes is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 85' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Portland Timbers side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 90' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 90 minutes.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Portland Timbers players.
