Events
Match Events
- 0' The wait is over. Los Angeles FC get us underway at .
- 5' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 10' It looks like no one’s ball. San Jose Earthquakes is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 15' Los Angeles FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
- 20' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 25' Florian Jungwirth has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 30' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 30 minutes.
- 35' The home supporters are growing impatient. San Jose Earthquakes must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 40' Dejan Jakovic has been relatively quiet despite scoring 1 goals in his last 285 appearances.
- 45' It looks surprising Los Angeles FC does not make any changes. Vako Qazaishvili has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 50' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His San Jose Earthquakes side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 55' Latif Blessing, a Ghana , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 60' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 65' Los Angeles FC have won 571 goals from 285 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 70' Los Angeles FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 75' Los Angeles FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 80' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 85' 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 Tyler Miller suffering a number of foals already.
- 90' The 32-year-old Aaron Kovar has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- San Jose Earthquakes will have plenty to reflect on. Los Angeles FC were simply the better side today.
