0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — San Jose Earthquakes and Los Angeles Galaxy get this one started.
5' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both San Jose Earthquakes and Los Angeles Galaxy are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
10' San Jose Earthquakes have won 448 goals from 298 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
15' 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 Eriq Zavaleta suffering a number of foals already.
16' Tyler Boyd doubles the advantage! 0-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
19' That looks like a foul for a card for Rodrigues.
24' 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.
29' GOAL! Lucas Felipe Calegari fires home to make it 0-2!
31' A goal from the USA international Jeremy Ebobisse! He fires home on 31 to make it 1-2!

40' Jonathan Mensah is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Los Angeles Galaxy so far.
43' It’s gonna be a card for Carlos Akapo.
48' The supporters are chanting for Marky Delgado. He replaces Oriol Rosell on 48 minute.
50' What a moment for Riqui Puig! That strike on 50 puts his side firmly in control.
55' It is a cagey affair so far. San Jose Earthquakes in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past Los Angeles Galaxy's compact 4-2-3-1.
60' Los Angeles Galaxy 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.
61' A stunning finish from Dejan Joveljic — that came from absolutely nowhere!
65' It’s gonna be a card for Miguel Trauco.
70' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
71' The San Jose Earthquakes bench stirs into life. Cade Cowell is withdrawn and Matthew Hoppe gets his opportunity.
72' Julian Aude has so much to prove this time. He replaces Raheem Edwards on 72 minute.

79' Daniel Aguirre gets the nod from Los Angeles Galaxy. He replaces Riqui Puig and will look to change the dynamic.
81' Paul Marie gets the nod from San Jose Earthquakes. He replaces Miguel Trauco and will look to change the dynamic.
83' A moment of madness from Edwin Cerrillo on 83 minutes earns him a card. Los Angeles Galaxy will be frustrated.
84' San Jose Earthquakes ring the changes. Carlos Akapo has done his job and it is now time for Tommy Thompson to step up.
89' It looks surprising San Jose Earthquakes does not make any changes. Edwin Cerrillo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
90' A moment of madness from Paul Marie on 90 minutes earns him a card. San Jose Earthquakes will be frustrated.
