Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' Martinique international Jordy Delem has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 10' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Seattle Sounders FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 15' Seattle Sounders FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 19' Controversy at the stadium! Tommy Thompson argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 24' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Xavier Arreaga on 24 minutes.
  • 29' The energy levels are beginning to show. Brian Schmetzer might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 34' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 39' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Seattle Sounders FC and San Jose Earthquakes are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 44' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Brian Schmetzer will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 49' It’s high time Brian Schmetzer made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 54' 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 Cade Cowell suffering a number of foals already.
  • 56' Another substitution for Seattle Sounders FC to replace Jordy Delem by Joevin Jones on 56 minute.
  • 61' Both keepers have barely been tested. Seattle Sounders FC and San Jose Earthquakes are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.

  • 69' The travelling San Jose Earthquakes supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.

  • 77' Miguel Ibarra is replacing Nouhou Tolo for the Seattle Sounders FC side.
  • 82' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 85' Cade Cowell gets the nod from San Jose Earthquakes. He replaces Vako Qazaishvili and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 90' It is a substitution in Seattle Sounders FC team. Kelvin Leerdam is replaced by Shane O'Neill on 90 minute.
