64' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Marco Reus made 527 appearances and scored 99 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
69' Both keepers have barely been tested. Sporting Kansas City and Los Angeles Galaxy are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
70' Magnificent from Calvin Harris! That is 13 goals in 255 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
75' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 75 minutes.
80' It’s a booking for Los Angeles Galaxy player. Gabriel Pec gets a card.
