- 5' United States international Lee Nguyen has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 10' 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 Latif Blessing suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' Los Angeles FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 20' San Jose Earthquakes has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 2 meetings.
- 25' Jackson Yueill, a USA , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Yeferson Quintana made 298 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 35' Eduard Atuesta has been relatively quiet despite scoring 17 goals in his last 304 appearances.

- 55' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 55 minutes.
- 60' Los Angeles FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 65' San Jose Earthquakes is showing some good football. However, San Jose Earthquakes are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 70' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 75' San Jose Earthquakes currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
