Events

Match Events

  • 0' Seattle Sounders FC have kicked off against Los Angeles Galaxy. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
  • 5' Nouhou Tolo is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Seattle Sounders FC so far.
  • 10' Cameron Dunbar has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 15 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 15' USA international Cristian Roldan has been a key figure this campaign — 3 goals and 1 assists in the Array this season.
  • 20' Raul Ruidiaz puts Seattle Sounders FC on the lead.
  • 23' GOAL! Brad Smith scores on 23. Assisted by Brad Smith
  • 28' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 33' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 38' Los Angeles Galaxy is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 43' Seattle Sounders FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 43.
  • 46' Los Angeles Galaxy make a change. Derrick Williams trudges off to be replaced by Sacha Kljestan on 46 minutes.
  • 51' It looks like no one’s ball. Los Angeles Galaxy is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 56' Jonathan dos Santos has been relatively quiet despite scoring 8 goals in his last 278 appearances.
  • 61' 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 Stefan Frei suffering a number of foals already.
  • 65' Another substitution for Los Angeles Galaxy to replace Victor Vazquez by Cameron Dunbar on 65 minute.
  • 66' Nicolas Lodeiro gets the nod from Seattle Sounders FC. He replaces Will Bruin and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 71' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 76' 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.
  • 81' It’s high time Brian Schmetzer made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 86' Will Bruin, a USA , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • Another three points for Seattle Sounders FC.
