Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds Lumen Field will turn into a battlefield for Seattle Sounders FC and Los Angeles Galaxy.
  • 5' Supporters expect more eagerness from Yeimar Gomez, as he is very good at scoring at Lumen Field with 2 goals in the last 2 games.
  • 10' Los Angeles Galaxy are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 15' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 20' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Raul Ruidiaz makes it 1-0.
  • 23' What a strike from Brad Smith! The score is 2-0.
  • 28' Seattle Sounders FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 33' The 31-year-old Cristian Roldan has been sensational this season — 5 goals and 1 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 38' Seattle Sounders FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 38.
  • 43' Shane O'Neill needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 22 Yellow cards this season.
  • 46' A tactical swap from Los Angeles Galaxy — Sacha Kljestan on, Derrick Williams off on 46 minutes.
  • 51' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 56' Both keepers have barely been tested. Seattle Sounders FC and Los Angeles Galaxy are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 61' Stefan Frei has been relatively quiet despite scoring 1 goals in his last 305 appearances.
  • 65' Cameron Dunbar gets the nod from Los Angeles Galaxy. He replaces Victor Vazquez and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 66' The whistle greets Will Bruin as he departs to be replaced by Nicolas Lodeiro.
  • 71' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 76' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 81' Los Angeles Galaxy come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 86' 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 Cameron Dunbar suffering a number of foals already.
  • The referee brings this contest to a close. Seattle Sounders FC take all three points.
