Events

Match Events

23' GOAL! Gabriel Pec fires home to make it 0-1!
28' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Los Angeles Galaxy needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
33' Antino Lopez is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Los Angeles Galaxy tonight.
38' It is a cagey affair so far. Seattle Sounders FC in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past Los Angeles Galaxy's compact 4-3-3.
43' It looks surprising Los Angeles Galaxy does not make any changes. Justin Haak has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

75' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?

85' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Hassani Dotson made 294 appearances and scored 20 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

0-2 the final result. Seattle Sounders FC will be bitterly disappointed.
