Events

Match Events

  • 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and San Jose Earthquakes launch into their encounter with Minnesota United FC.
  • 4' Assisted by Emanuel Reynoso with the perfectly-timed delivery and Teemu Pukki makes no mistake. 0-1!
  • 9' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His San Jose Earthquakes side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 14' San Jose Earthquakes are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 16' GOAL! Cade Cowell scores on 16. Assisted by Jackson Yueill
  • 21' Over 21 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 26' Minnesota United FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 31' That is a card for San Jose Earthquakes. Carlos Gruezo will be fuming at that decision.
  • 36' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering San Jose Earthquakes that had 286 games and scored 429 goals.
  • 40' Minnesota United FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 40.
  • 45' Jan Gregus is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for San Jose Earthquakes so far.
  • 50' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 55' 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 Cristian Espinoza suffering a number of foals already.
  • 60' San Jose Earthquakes is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 64' Ethan Bristow is ready to make an impact after coming on for Ismael Tajouri-Shradi at the 64 minute mark.

  • 74' The travelling Minnesota United FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 79' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 81' A change in the San Jose Earthquakes ranks — Jamiro Monteiro exits the field as Niko Tsakiris enters on 81.
  • 85' Michael Boxall catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. card on 85.
  • 90' A tactical swap from San Jose Earthquakes — Benjamin Kikanovic on, Cade Cowell off on 90 minutes.
