0' That's the starting whistle at . Ninety minutes of football awaits between San Jose Earthquakes and Sporting Kansas City.
5' 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 Tim Melia suffering a number of foals already.
6' Danny Hoesen doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
11' Gerso Fernandes is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for San Jose Earthquakes so far.
12' A stunning finish from Danny Hoesen — that came from absolutely nowhere!
15' Another substitution for Sporting Kansas City to replace Matt Besler by Abdoul Rwatubyaye on 15 minute.
20' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Matias Almeyda will be considering his options from the bench.
25' 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.
30' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both San Jose Earthquakes and Sporting Kansas City are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
35' San Jose Earthquakes are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
40' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Nick Lima made 286 appearances and scored 9 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
45' Cristian Espinoza has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 45.
46' Shea Salinas adds to his 0 season tally! San Jose Earthquakes lead 3-0 — and this changes everything.

53' A quiet spell here at . San Jose Earthquakes seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
54' A moment of madness from Yohan Croizet on 54 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Sporting Kansas City will be frustrated.

66' GOAL! Felipe Gutierrez scores on 66.
70' The whistle greets Tommy Thompson as he departs to be replaced by Judson.

80' Another substitution for San Jose Earthquakes to replace Cristian Espinoza by Paul Marie on 80 minute.
85' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
