0' And we are off! St. Louis City vs San Jose Earthquakes — let the football do the talking.
5' St. Louis City are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined San Jose Earthquakes backline.
8' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Preston Judd makes it 0-1.
13' Simon Becher needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 5 Yellow cards this season.
18' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His St. Louis City side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
23' Both keepers have barely been tested. St. Louis City and San Jose Earthquakes are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
24' Earl Edwards Jr. makes way for Daniel at the 24 minute mark. A tactical switch from San Jose Earthquakes.
29' 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 Earl Edwards Jr. suffering a number of foals already.
34' With 0 assists to his name this season, Jack Skahan is clearly more than just a goal scorer for St. Louis City.
39' 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.
44' The home supporters are growing impatient. St. Louis City must find a spark to ignite this game.
46' Jonathan Gonzalez makes way for Ronaldo Vieira at the 46 minute mark. A tactical switch from San Jose Earthquakes.
51' GOAL! Sergio Cordova scores on 51. Assisted by Marcel Hartel
53' A stunning finish from Marcel Hartel — that came from absolutely nowhere!
58' 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.
59' A moment of madness from Preston Judd on 59 minutes earns him a card. San Jose Earthquakes will be frustrated.
61' Another substitution for San Jose Earthquakes to replace Nick Fernandez by Ousseni Bouda on 61 minute.
66' Roman Burki has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 521 appearances.
69' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Timo Werner makes no mistake. 2-2!
70' Jamar Ricketts has so much to prove this time. He replaces Max Floriani on 70 minute.
74' Daniel picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
75' The crowd applauds Sergio Cordova as he leaves the pitch. Brendan McSorley steps in for St. Louis City.
80' A quiet spell here at Citypark. St. Louis City seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
81' Another substitution for St. Louis City to replace Simon Becher by Cedric Teuchert on 81 minute.
83' GOAL! Timo Werner scores on 83. Assisted by Ousseni Bouda
84' The referee shows St. Louis City player a card on 84.
85' It is a substitution in St. Louis City team. Daniel Edelman is replaced by Eduard Lowen on 85 minute.
86' Rafael Santos gets the nod from St. Louis City. He replaces Tomas Totland and will look to change the dynamic.
