Match Events

0' KICK OFF: Los Angeles Galaxy gets underway.
5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jorgen Skjelvik made 293 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
10' Both keepers have barely been tested. Sporting Kansas City and Los Angeles Galaxy are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
15' Sporting Kansas City looks like a favorite considering 2 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Dejan Joveljic scoring 1 goals.
20' Daniel Steres, a USA , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
25' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sporting Kansas City that had 296 games and scored 456 goals.
30' Ola Kamara needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
35' The energy levels are beginning to show. Peter Vermes might look to freshen things up shortly.
40' With 0 assists to his name this season, Diego Rubio is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Sporting Kansas City.
45' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
50' It looks surprising Los Angeles Galaxy does not make any changes. Matt Besler has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
55' Perry Kitchen has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 293 appearances.
60' Los Angeles Galaxy have won 496 goals from 293 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
65' Ike Opara has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
70' The travelling Los Angeles Galaxy supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
75' Sporting Kansas City currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
80' Sporting Kansas City has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 2 of the last 2 meetings.
85' Sporting Kansas City 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.
90' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
1-1 the final result. will be bitterly disappointed.
