Events
Match Events

- 13' Philadelphia Union is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 17' What a moment for Damion Lowe! That strike on 17 puts his side firmly in control.
- 22' 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 Kai Wagner suffering a number of foals already.
- 24' Another change for Philadelphia Union made on 24 minute. Damion Lowe leaves to be changed by Jack McGlynn.
- 29' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. San Jose Earthquakes needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.

- 39' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 44' 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.
- 49' Philadelphia Union 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.
- 54' Philadelphia Union fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 57' Miguel Trauco does the damage! The net is bulging and San Jose Earthquakes surge ahead!
- 62' With 4 assists to his name this season, Cade Cowell is clearly more than just a goal scorer for San Jose Earthquakes.
- 67' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both San Jose Earthquakes and Philadelphia Union are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 72' Leon Flach has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 73' The crowd applauds Cade Cowell as he leaves the pitch. Benjamin Kikanovic steps in for San Jose Earthquakes.
- 78' Philadelphia Union started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 78.
- 83' 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.
