Events
Match Events
- 0' Welcome to that hosts another battle between San Jose Earthquakes and Portland Timbers.
- 5' 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 Danny Hoesen suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' Both keepers have barely been tested. San Jose Earthquakes and Portland Timbers are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 15' San Jose Earthquakes has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
- 20' San Jose Earthquakes looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Preston Judd scoring 2 goals.
- 25' Portland Timbers started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 25.
- 30' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both San Jose Earthquakes and Portland Timbers are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 35' 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.
- 40' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His San Jose Earthquakes side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 45' 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.
- 50' Portland Timbers 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.
- 55' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 60' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 65' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 65 minutes.
- 70' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Zarek Valentin made 287 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 75' Portland Timbers come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 80' The energy levels are beginning to show. Giovanni Savarese might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 85' 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.
- 90' Over 90 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Portland Timbers players.
