Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Los Angeles Galaxy gets underway.
  • 5' 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.
  • 10' The travelling Los Angeles Galaxy supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 15' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Los Angeles Galaxy needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 20' Vancouver Whitecaps FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 25' Over 25 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 30' It looks like no one’s ball. Los Angeles Galaxy is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 35' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Carl Robinson will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 40' Supporters expect more eagerness from Yordy Reyna, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 45' With 0 assists to his name this season, David Bingham is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Los Angeles Galaxy.
  • 50' Both keepers have barely been tested. Vancouver Whitecaps FC and Los Angeles Galaxy are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 55' 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 Felipe Martins suffering a number of foals already.
  • 60' Vancouver Whitecaps FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 65' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Vancouver Whitecaps FC winning 50% of all matches.
  • 70' The home supporters are growing impatient. Vancouver Whitecaps FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 75' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 80' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Vancouver Whitecaps FC and Los Angeles Galaxy are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 85' Vancouver Whitecaps FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Los Angeles Galaxy's shape.
  • 90' Baggio Husidic is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Vancouver Whitecaps FC tonight.
  • The points are shared — Vancouver Whitecaps FC 0-0 Los Angeles Galaxy. Honours even.
