Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Los Angeles FC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' It is a cagey affair so far. Real Salt Lake in their trying to find a way past Los Angeles FC's compact .
  • 10' Los Angeles FC is showing some good football. However, Los Angeles FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Marcelo Silva made 283 appearances and scored 9 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 17' Andrew Brody picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 22' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 27' Mark-Anthony Kaye has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 22 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 32' Both keepers have barely been tested. Real Salt Lake and Los Angeles FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 37' Carlos Vela has been relatively quiet despite scoring 94 goals in his last 289 appearances.
  • 42' With 0 assists to his name this season, Corey Baird is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Los Angeles FC.
  • 47' Supporters expect more eagerness from Damir Kreilach, as he is very good at scoring at Rio Tinto Stadium with 15 goals in the last 13 games.
  • 52' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Real Salt Lake side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 57' Los Angeles FC 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.
  • 61' The referee has no hesitation. Corey Baird is booked for Los Angeles FC — Yellow card on 61.
  • 66' It looks surprising Real Salt Lake does not make any changes. Maikel Chang Ramirez has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 67' Jose Cifuentes is replacing Mark-Anthony Kaye for the Los Angeles FC side.
  • 70' Against the run of play, Jose Cifuentes has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 73' Maikel Chang Ramirez makes way for Justin Meram at the 73 minute mark. A tactical switch from Real Salt Lake.
  • 75' A moment of madness from Damir Kreilach on 75 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Real Salt Lake will be frustrated.
  • 80' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 80 minutes.
  • 83' Justen Glad has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 83.
  • 88' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Real Salt Lake and Los Angeles FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 90' That is a Yellow card for Los Angeles FC. Diego Rossi will be fuming at that decision.
  • Full Time. Los Angeles FC beats Real Salt Lake
