Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for San Jose Earthquakes to score. At the same time, St. Louis City does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' St. Louis 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.
- 10' San Jose Earthquakes are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against St. Louis City's 4-1-2-1-2 shape.
- 15' 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 Paul Marie suffering a number of foals already.
- 20' St. Louis City is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 25' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 30' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 35' Supporters expect more eagerness from Kyle Hiebert, as he is very good at scoring at PayPal Park with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 40' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 41' Samuel Adeniran does the damage! The net is bulging and St. Louis City surge ahead!
- 46' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with St. Louis City winning 50% of all matches.
- 47' Jamiro Monteiro does the damage! The net is bulging and San Jose Earthquakes surge ahead!
- 49' Controversy at the stadium! Jamiro Monteiro argues furiously but the card stands.
- 54' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 58' Samuel Adeniran with the second goal in the match!
- 59' The referee has no hesitation. Aziel Jackson is booked for St. Louis City — card on 59.
- 64' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Roman Burki made 536 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 69' Tim Parker is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for San Jose Earthquakes tonight.
- 70' Benjamin Kikanovic has so much to prove this time. He replaces Jack Skahan on 70 minute.

- 83' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 83 minutes.
- 84' Niko Tsakiris is having his name booked by the referee on 84.
- 89' San Jose Earthquakes are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 90' Celio Pompeu was booked on 90.
- 90' The St. Louis City manager makes a substitution. Rasmus Alm departs to be replaced by Isak Jensen.
