  • 10' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Real Salt Lake needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.

  • 72' Magnificent from Damir Kreilach! That is 67 goals in 283 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 73' Los Angeles Galaxy manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Joe Corona is hanging Jonathan dos Santos on the field on 73 minute.
