Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between San Diego FC and Los Angeles FC is underway.
- 5' San Diego 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.
- 7' San Diego FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Marcus Ingvartsen on 7.
- 12' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 12 minutes.
- 15' A meaty challenge results in booking for David Vazquez on 15.
- 20' Los Angeles FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
- 25' Supporters expect more eagerness from Oscar Verhoeven, as he is very good at scoring at Snapdragon Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 30' 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.
- 35' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Los Angeles FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 40' 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 Hugo Lloris suffering a number of foals already.
- 45' It looks like no one’s ball. San Diego FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.

- 69' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. David Vazquez made 286 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 71' What a strike from Marcus Ingvartsen! The score is 2-0.
- 73' San Diego FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 73.
