Events

Match Events

0' And we are off! San Jose Earthquakes vs Sporting Kansas City — let the football do the talking.
5' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Alex Covelo will be considering his options from the bench.
10' Spain international Oriol Rosell has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
15' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
20' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
25' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both San Jose Earthquakes and Sporting Kansas City are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
30' Cristian Espinoza has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 22 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
35' Supporters expect more eagerness from Ben Sweat, as he is very good at scoring at PayPal Park with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
40' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
45' Johnny Russell doubles the advantage! 0-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
46' What an equalizer from Jackson Yueill!
51' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
56' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
58' Poor challenge from Roger Espinoza. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
63' A tactical swap from Sporting Kansas City — Marinos Tzionis on, Roger Espinoza off on 63 minutes.
67' It is a substitution in San Jose Earthquakes team. Jackson Yueill is replaced by Jan Gregus on 67 minute.
72' 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 Eric Remedi suffering a number of foals already.
74' It’s a booking for Sporting Kansas City player. Oriol Rosell gets a Yellow card.
79' A tactical swap from San Jose Earthquakes — Judson on, Eric Remedi off on 79 minutes.
84' The energy levels are beginning to show. Peter Vermes might look to freshen things up shortly.
88' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Paul Marie.
Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
