Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: St. Louis City gets underway.
  • 5' St. Louis City is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 10' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Brendan McSorley makes it 0-1.
  • 15' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 19' What a strike from Marcel Hartel! The score is 0-2.
  • 24' Cristian Espinoza has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 29 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 29' San Jose Earthquakes currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 31' Cristian Arango has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 31 minutes.
  • 36' 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 Mark-Anthony Kaye suffering a number of foals already.
  • 41' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 45' Assisted by Marcel Hartel with the perfectly-timed delivery and Brendan McSorley makes no mistake. 1-3!
  • 45' Ronaldo Vieira has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 45.
  • 47' St. Louis City manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Mykhi Joyner is hanging Celio Pompeu on the field on 47 minute.
  • 52' 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.
  • 57' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Bruce Arena will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 62' It looks surprising St. Louis City does not make any changes. Roman Burki has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 63' The supporters are chanting for Josef Martinez. He replaces Bruno Wilson on 63 minute.
  • 68' San Jose Earthquakes have won 429 goals from 286 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 72' That is a card for San Jose Earthquakes. Preston Judd will be fuming at that decision.
  • 77' With 0 assists to his name this season, Daniel is clearly more than just a goal scorer for St. Louis City.
  • 78' Simon Becher is replacing Klauss for the St. Louis City side.
  • 79' Another change for San Jose Earthquakes made on 79 minute. Preston Judd leaves to be changed by Beau Leroux.
  • 81' It’s gonna be a card for Simon Becher.
  • 82' San Jose Earthquakes receives a card for a hard tackle on 82.
  • 82' St. Louis City manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Seth Antwi is hanging Chris Durkin on the field on 82 minute.
  • 87' St. Louis City fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 88' The supporters are chanting for Alfredo Morales. He replaces Marcel Hartel on 88 minute.
  • 90' San Jose Earthquakes manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Jack Skahan is hanging Cristian Espinoza on the field on 90 minute.
  • It finishes all square. San Jose Earthquakes and St. Louis City share the spoils 1-3.
