5' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both San Jose Earthquakes and Sporting Kansas City are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
10' It is a cagey affair so far. San Jose Earthquakes in their trying to find a way past Sporting Kansas City's compact .
15' Over 15 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
20' 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.
23' The whistle greets Dany Rosero as he departs to be replaced by Robert Castellanos.
28' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sporting Kansas City that had 301 games and scored 461 goals.
33' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
37' Benjamin Kikanovic is having his name booked by the referee on 37.
38' Tim Leibold was booked on 38.
43' Sporting Kansas City is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
46' Memo Rodriguez makes way for Remi Walter at the 46 minute mark. A tactical switch from Sporting Kansas City.
48' Goal! Erik Thommy scores his 29 goal in 453 matches.
50' The Sporting Kansas City manager makes a substitution. Stephen Afrira departs to be replaced by Daniel Salloi.
55' The travelling Sporting Kansas City supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
57' What a moment for Alan Pulido! That strike on 57 puts his side firmly in control.

64' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 64 minutes.
69' Fresh legs for San Jose Earthquakes! Preston Judd comes on to replace Jeremy Ebobisse.
74' 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 Leibold suffering a number of foals already.
78' Jack Skahan has so much to prove this time. He replaces Cristian Espinoza on 78 minute.
83' What a moment for Khiry Shelton! That strike on 83 puts his side firmly in control.
