Events

Match Events

0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. San Jose Earthquakes is hosting San Diego FC for another epic battle.
5' San Diego FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
10' It looks surprising San Jose Earthquakes does not make any changes. Beau Leroux has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
11' Ousseni Bouda is having his name booked by the referee on 11.
13' GOAL! Niko Tsakiris scores on 13. Assisted by Preston Judd
18' It looks like no one’s ball. San Diego FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
23' San Diego FC is showing some good football. However, San Diego FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
28' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 28 minutes.
32' The referee shows San Diego FC player a card on 32.
34' What a strike from Niko Tsakiris! The score is 2-0.
39' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering San Jose Earthquakes that had 279 games and scored 424 goals.
40' Time for substitution for San Diego FC. David Vazquez is replaced by Wilson Eisner.
45' San Diego FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
48' GOAL! Preston Judd scores on 45. Assisted by Beau Leroux
52' It’s gonna be a card for Osvald Soe.
57' Paul Marie is replacing Jack Skahan for the San Jose Earthquakes side.
59' That looks like a foul for a card for Jeppe Tverskov.
64' 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 Reid Roberts suffering a number of foals already.
69' The supporters are chanting for Dave Romney. He replaces Jamar Ricketts on 69 minute.
70' Another substitution for San Jose Earthquakes to replace Ousseni Bouda by Nick Fernandez on 70 minute.

90' The referee shows San Jose Earthquakes player a card on 90.
