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.

  • 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.
