Events

Match Events

0' KICK OFF: Seattle Sounders FC gets underway.
2' Goal! Nick Fernandez scores his 1 goal in 279 matches.
7' 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.
12' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Seattle Sounders FC that had 284 games and scored 450 goals.
17' San Jose Earthquakes is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
22' San Jose Earthquakes is showing some good football. However, San Jose Earthquakes are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
27' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Seattle Sounders FC winning 50% of all matches.
32' Supporters expect more eagerness from Paul Rothrock, as he is very good at scoring at Lumen Field with 7 goals in the last 7 games.
37' San Jose Earthquakes 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.
42' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
43' What an equalizer from Albert Rusnak!
45' That looks like a foul for a card for Reid Roberts.
50' Jackson Ragen has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 16 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
55' GOAL! Jesus Ferreira scores on 55.
58' San Jose Earthquakes receives a card for a hard tackle on 58.
63' It looks like no one’s ball. San Jose Earthquakes is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
68' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
69' GOAL! Preston Judd scores on 69.
74' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
79' Jonathan Gonzalez needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
84' 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 Kalani Kossa-Rienzi suffering a number of foals already.
89' Sensational shot from Osaze De Rosario. Seattle Sounders FC is back in the lead.
Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Seattle Sounders FC players.
