Events

Match Events

  • 0' And we are off! Real Salt Lake vs San Jose Earthquakes — let the football do the talking.
  • 5' Real Salt Lake started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
  • 9' It’s a booking for Real Salt Lake player. Noel Caliskan gets a card.
  • 14' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 19' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 24' A meaty challenge results in booking for Zavier Gozo on 24.
  • 29' With 0 assists to his name this season, Rodrigues is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Real Salt Lake.

  • 38' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 42' A moment of madness from Diego Luna on 42 minutes earns him a card. Real Salt Lake will be frustrated.
  • 45' Poor challenge from Reid Roberts. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 50' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
