15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
20' With 0 assists to his name this season, Robert Voloder is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Sporting Kansas City.
25' Sporting Kansas City 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' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Javier Lopez made 287 appearances and scored 17 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

56' Judson has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
58' A meaty challenge results in booking for Roger Espinoza on 58.
63' A tactical swap from Sporting Kansas City — Marinos Tzionis on, Roger Espinoza off on 63 minutes.
67' San Jose Earthquakes ring the changes. Jackson Yueill has done his job and it is now time for Jan Gregus to step up.
72' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
74' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Oriol Rosell.
79' Judson is replacing Eric Remedi for the San Jose Earthquakes side.
84' San Jose Earthquakes have won 430 goals from 287 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
