- 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from C.J. Sapong, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 15' Jorge Luis Corrales has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 10 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 20' Los Angeles FC 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.
- 25' Jorge Luis Corrales is having his name booked by the referee on 25.
- 30' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Chicago Fire FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.

- 56' The travelling Chicago Fire FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 61' 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 Mark-Anthony Kaye suffering a number of foals already.
- 64' The supporters are chanting for Lee Nguyen. He replaces Christian Ramirez on 64 minute.
- 69' The whistle greets Nemanja Nikolics as he departs to be replaced by Brandt Bronico.
