- 25' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.
- 30' It looks surprising Los Angeles FC does not make any changes. Yeferson Quintana has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 35' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Bob Bradley will be considering his options from the bench.
- 40' San Jose Earthquakes 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.

- 85' 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.
- 90' 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.
