  • 10' Goal! Daniel Salloi scores his 64 goal in 285 matches.
  • 15' With 0 assists to his name this season, Jeremy Ebobisse is clearly more than just a goal scorer for San Jose Earthquakes.
  • 20' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 25' It’s high time Peter Vermes made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 30' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 35' Supporters expect more eagerness from Paul Marie, as he is very good at scoring at Children's Mercy Park with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 40' 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.
  • 42' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Ben Sweat.
  • 45' William Agada picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 46' Felipe Hernandez has so much to prove this time. He replaces Roger Espinoza on 46 minute.
  • 51' Cristian Espinoza has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 24 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 54' Another change for Sporting Kansas City made on 54 minute. Ben Sweat leaves to be changed by Logan Ndenbe.
  • 57' That is a Yellow card for San Jose Earthquakes. Tanner Beason will be fuming at that decision.

  • 59' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Nicolas Isimat-Mirin makes no mistake. 2-0!
  • 64' William Agada, a Nigeria , has 3 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 65' The crowd applauds Benjamin Kikanovic as he leaves the pitch. Cade Cowell steps in for San Jose Earthquakes.
  • 70' It looks surprising Sporting Kansas City does not make any changes. Ben Sweat has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 73' San Jose Earthquakes ring the changes. Jan Gregus has done his job and it is now time for Niko Tsakiris to step up.

  • 79' Khiry Shelton is replacing Daniel Salloi for the Sporting Kansas City side.
  • 81' Paul Marie makes way for Shea Salinas at the 81 minute mark. A tactical switch from San Jose Earthquakes.
  • 86' 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 Benjamin Kikanovic suffering a number of foals already.
  • 88' It’s a booking for Sporting Kansas City player. Andreu Fontas gets a Yellow card.
  • 90' Poor challenge from Oskar Aagren. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • The referee brings this contest to a close. Sporting Kansas City take all three points.
