Events

Match Events

  • 0' And we are off! San Jose Earthquakes vs Seattle Sounders FC — let the football do the talking.
  • 5' San Jose Earthquakes 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.
  • 10' A quiet spell here at . Seattle Sounders FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 15' Both keepers have barely been tested. San Jose Earthquakes and Seattle Sounders FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 20' Over 20 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 25' Gustav Svensson is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for San Jose Earthquakes tonight.
  • 30' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Seattle Sounders FC that had 305 games and scored 477 goals.
  • 35' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 40' Will Bruin has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 37 appearances with only 0 goals this season.

  • 50' San Jose Earthquakes are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Seattle Sounders FC backline.
  • 55' Harry Shipp needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 60' Vako Qazaishvili has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.

  • 70' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 75' It looks like no one’s ball. Seattle Sounders FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 80' Seattle Sounders FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 85' Seattle Sounders FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
