0' Welcome to PayPal Park that hosts another battle between San Jose Earthquakes and Portland Timbers.
5' A goal from the Colombia international Yimmi Chara! He fires home on 5 to make it 0-1!
10' The travelling Portland Timbers supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
15' 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.
20' Over 20 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
25' A meaty challenge results in booking for Bill Tuiloma on 25.
30' San Jose Earthquakes are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Portland Timbers backline.
35' San Jose Earthquakes has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
40' San Jose Earthquakes are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
42' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Dario Zuparic on 42 minutes.
43' Portland Timbers player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
45' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Chris Wondolowski on 45 minutes.
50' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Eric Remedi made 287 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
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 Pablo Bonilla suffering a number of foals already.
58' Chris Wondolowski has so much to prove this time. He replaces Florian Jungwirth on 58 minute.
59' Another substitution for San Jose Earthquakes to replace Paul Marie by Shea Salinas on 59 minute.
63' Benjamin Kikanovic is replacing Carlos Fierro for the San Jose Earthquakes side.
66' The San Jose Earthquakes bench stirs into life. Andres Rios is withdrawn and Jack Skahan gets his opportunity.

69' Portland Timbers make a change. Jeremy Ebobisse trudges off to be replaced by Dairon Asprilla on 69 minutes.
72' Andy Polo makes way for Renzo Jose Zambrano at the 72 minute mark. A tactical switch from Portland Timbers.
74' Marvin Loria has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 74 minutes.
79' It looks surprising San Jose Earthquakes does not make any changes. Logan Ketterer has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
82' A tactical swap from Portland Timbers — Jose Van Rankin on, Pablo Bonilla off on 82 minutes.
