Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Lumen Field. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' 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.
- 10' 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.
- 15' Seattle Sounders FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
- 18' What a strike from Marcus Ingvartsen! The score is 0-1.
- 23' The travelling San Diego FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 28' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 33' 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 Cristian Roldan suffering a number of foals already.
- 38' It’s high time Brian Schmetzer made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 43' 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.

- 51' Jesus Ferreira is having his name booked by the referee on 51.
- 56' It’s a booking for Seattle Sounders FC player. Snyder Brunell gets a card.
- 57' That looks like a foul for a card for Cristian Roldan.
- 62' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Manu Duah made 46 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 67' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 67 minutes.
- 72' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 75' Alexander Mighten is having his name booked by the referee on 75.

- 80' What a strike from Danny Musovski! The score is 1-1.

- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-1.
