0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Sporting Kansas City and San Jose Earthquakes has kicked off!
5' 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.
10' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. San Jose Earthquakes needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
15' The energy levels are beginning to show. Matias Almeyda might look to freshen things up shortly.
20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering San Jose Earthquakes that had 293 games and scored 441 goals.
25' 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.
30' Supporters expect more eagerness from Nicolas Isimat-Mirin, as he is very good at scoring at Children's Mercy Park with 2 goals in the last 2 games.
35' Daniel Salloi has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 2 cards already picked up this season.
