Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Seattle Sounders FC to score. At the same time, Los Angeles Galaxy does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' It’s high time Greg Vanney made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Gabriel Pec, as he is very good at scoring at Lumen Field with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
- 12' Justin Haak was booked on 12.
- 17' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Seattle Sounders FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 22' Elijah Wynder has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 15 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 23' Los Angeles Galaxy is taking the lead after the goal scored by Gabriel Pec on 23.
- 28' Seattle Sounders FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 28.
- 33' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 38' Los Angeles Galaxy looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Gabriel Pec scoring 1 goals.
- 43' Seattle Sounders FC 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.
- 44' Peter Kingston is having his name booked by the referee on 44.
- 45' Los Angeles Galaxy receives a card for a hard tackle on 45.
- 50' Seattle Sounders FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 55' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 60' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Justin Haak made 286 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 65' It looks like no one’s ball. Seattle Sounders FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 70' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 75' 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 Jackson Ragen suffering a number of foals already.
- 80' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 80 minutes.
- 85' It looks surprising Los Angeles Galaxy does not make any changes. Jordan Morris has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 89' J.T. Marcinkowski is having his name booked by the referee on 89.
- That’s it! Another goalless match for Seattle Sounders FC and Los Angeles Galaxy (для сухой ничьи).
