Events

Match Events

  • 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and San Jose Earthquakes launch into their encounter with Seattle Sounders FC.
  • 5' San Jose Earthquakes are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 10' Seattle Sounders FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 15' 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 Nicolas Lodeiro suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' Supporters expect more eagerness from Roman Torres, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 25' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 30' Raul Ruidiaz has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 35' Seattle Sounders FC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 2 meetings.
  • 40' The 38-year-old Jahmir Hyka has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 45' Seattle Sounders FC 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.
  • 50' Seattle Sounders FC have won 450 goals from 284 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 55' Florian Jungwirth has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 15 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 60' Guram Kashia is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for San Jose Earthquakes so far.
  • 65' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Mikael Stahre will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 70' San Jose Earthquakes are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Seattle Sounders FC's shape.
  • 75' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 80' Chris Wondolowski is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Seattle Sounders FC tonight.
  • 85' Seattle Sounders FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Albert Rusnak scoring 1 goals.
  • 90' 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.
  • Another three points for Seattle Sounders FC.
