  • 10' 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.

  • 34' A goal from the Colombia international Yimmi Chara! He fires home on 34 to make it 0-2!
  • 39' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 76' Against the run of play, Vako Qazaishvili has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 81' Time for substitution for Portland Timbers. Jaroslaw Niezgoda is replaced by Tomas Conechny.
