- 0' Welcome to Rio Tinto Stadium that hosts another battle between Real Salt Lake and Los Angeles Galaxy.
- 5' Real Salt Lake are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Los Angeles Galaxy backline.
- 10' With 0 assists to his name this season, Andrew Brody is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Los Angeles Galaxy.
- 15' It’s high time made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 20' The 21-year-old Gavin Beavers has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 25' Los Angeles Galaxy is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 30' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Los Angeles Galaxy that had 282 games and scored 480 goals.
- 35' Los Angeles Galaxy are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 40' Carlos Gomez is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Real Salt Lake so far.
- 45' Gaston Brugman adds to his 0 season tally! Los Angeles Galaxy lead 0-1 — and this changes everything.

- 58' A tactical swap from Los Angeles Galaxy — Memo Rodriguez on, Gino Vivi off on 58 minutes.
- 63' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 64' A meaty challenge results in booking for Andrew Brody on 64.
- 66' Controversy at the stadium! Raheem Edwards argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.

- 84' The supporters are chanting for Eriq Zavaleta. He replaces Lucas Felipe Calegari on 84 minute.
