Events

Match Events

0' Three points are at stake. San Jose Earthquakes host Los Angeles Galaxy — let the battle begin!
4' GOAL! Sebastian Lletget fires home to make it 0-1!
9' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
12' Nick DePuy was booked on 12.
17' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Los Angeles Galaxy winning 50% of all matches.
22' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both San Jose Earthquakes and Los Angeles Galaxy are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
27' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
31' Perry Kitchen is having his name booked by the referee on 31.
36' It looks surprising Los Angeles Galaxy does not make any changes. Diedie Traore has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
41' Sacha Kljestan has been relatively quiet despite scoring 21 goals in his last 291 appearances.
42' What an equalizer from Marcos Lopez!
45' That is a Yellow card for San Jose Earthquakes. Carlos Fierro will be fuming at that decision.
50' Javier Hernandez has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 9 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
55' 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.
60' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Joe Corona.
63' Controversy at the stadium! Jackson Yueill argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
66' Another substitution for Los Angeles Galaxy to replace Joe Corona by Efrain Alvarez on 66 minute.
71' J.T. Marcinkowski is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Los Angeles Galaxy tonight.
72' Yony Gonzalez is replacing Sebastian Lletget for the Los Angeles Galaxy side.
73' The supporters are chanting for Shea Salinas. He replaces Carlos Fierro on 73 minute.
78' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Rolf Feltscher made 287 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
82' Magnificent from Andres Rios! That is 22 goals in 294 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
87' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 87 minutes.
89' Time for substitution for Los Angeles Galaxy. Javier Hernandez is replaced by Sacha Kljestan.
90' J.T. Marcinkowski has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 90.
90' The Los Angeles Galaxy bench stirs into life. Emiliano Insua is withdrawn and Diedie Traore gets his opportunity.
Game over. The scoreline of 2-1 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
