I think it is, you know, it's going to be a clash of styles and it's going to be all about who can, you know, emphasize their style really early on.
Is it Miami with the possession or is it Red Bulls with the way and the ability that they have to go forward in the transition?
Dylan Niles, this ball dummied ahead, this is Lewis Morgan with a shotgun!
His blistering start to 2024 continues, third of the year.
Morgan and the Red Bulls running early, they have a 1-0 lead.
Who runs off Aviles and puts the ball into the back of the net.
It's wonderful movement from Morgan, great awareness as well from Van Zeer who keeps himself onside.
Morgan, pressure on Klitsav.
Given away, taken back, Amaya to the foot of Van Zeer.
Morgan looking for the Red Bulls.
Great Scott with two against his former team today.
But this is all about, I'm talking about, I just said it a minute ago, Red Bulls dominating through the middle.
Miami want to play through the middle.
One back by Red Bull.
Morgan trying to keep this ball in play.
If he can, maybe something brewing.
Able to keep it alive.
Time for Miami though to get back.
Wins an individual battle.
Wants Van Zeer and a shot!
Wiki Cole!
He has no right to keep that in.
Then he has no right to get the better of the defender here that's coming back.
And then he plays the ball back.
His perseverance is incredible.
Van Zeer keeps it alive.
Opportunity here, Kompot on top of the 18.
Referee let the contact go.
Leo Kompot in transition the other way.
Van Zeer shrugs off Allen.
It is all systems go.
All systems go.
And it's that man, Van Zeer, who's also been a brilliant double out with Morgan.
And then Morgan says, give me the ball.
Southwest on the chase.
Mahaila Selassie.
Nicely in behind for Fabian Herbers with the penalty here.
Score for Hugo Kuipers!
Two and two.
The DP number nine starting to find that form that Chicago brought him in for
as the Fire take the lead away from home.
And then they got a 2v1 situation.
It's the exact right opportunity.
Just slots it across.
Kuipers gets his head up.
You see the look right there.
And all Kuipers has to do.
Jimenez presented it to Shankalai.
Referee giving some more time for the time wasting.
That big switch is out to DeJuan Jones who controls neatly.
DeJuan Jones flicks it back for Carlos Hill who tries to strike.
It's filled by Ritchie.
And it's turned in by Nacho Hill.
An equalizer just before the interval.
Under as much pressure.
They get the matchup they want.
It's a beautiful ball to be able to switch play.
There's the 1v1 situation with Jones.
And then Carlos Hill, exactly where you want him.
Coming in around.
Takaoka under pressure once again.
Blackman ahead to Vitae.
Perfect ball for Ryan.
Numbers now.
White.
First as a white cap against Rios.
Salt Lake.
Of course it is.
1-0 Vancouver.
Zach McMath.
His former teammate.
And slots home to give the white caps.
Bajas.
Showing aggression for Julio.
He's in.
And it's 1-1.
Salt Lake has leveled the match after relentless pressure.
Sure head on the young dual national
who high hopes will play for the United States.
Aracel has to be thinking three points now
with the quality second half they put together.
Back post.
Reeled in by Barajas.
Catranes.
Feathers it in.
And it's 2-1 for the visitors.
I mentioned earlier in the game
when he used his right foot
trying to curl it into the top corner.
He'd prefer it fall on his favorite left.
And when it does.
What a finish.
Ryan over Takooka.
There's no chance for the keeper.
Off his line a little bit there.
The way it nestles into the far corner.
You have to say based on the run of play
this second half it has been.
Pace of the game now with ten minutes remaining
until the halftime interval.
First class from Tyree Spicer.
Combination play here.
A lovely layoff from Kerr
but that first touch from Spicer.
Here they go.
Bernadeschi.
Poor touch from the Italian.
The hunting FC once more.
Bernadeschi.
Good save.
Prince Owusu.
Off the mark in Major League Soccer.
For the knockdown as that strike comes.
It's just dropped right on the doorstep for him.
And puts it away there.
It's lovely little patience there
to pick his head up
and Coelho follows it up.
Slows the whole play down.
Ojeda back out to Daggerdan.
Back to Lonato.
For Hulson.
Driving it in.
He's looking for Lynn.
And he's got his first MLS goal
in his starting debut.
Jack Lynn.
Dripping the line.
Staying onside.
As the ball gets set to come in.
Oh, he may have been offside.
Lonato just set that ball up.
That might be an indicator.
Yep, it's going to be.
Well, it could be him or Mourinho.
It might be Mourinho
because Lonato's a good guy.
Sometimes he's like, alright.
Now it's Lonato.
There it is.
Doubles Orlando's advantage.
In an Orlando City shirt.
And it's one to behold.
It's just fantastic.
The ball starts almost outside the goal.
Cincinnati come to life here.
Pupenza.
Acosta lets it go.
Baird.
Acosta.
Shakes off a hack.
Lucho.
Balasso.
Of his movement.
Instead, Pupenza drags.
Acosta steps in behind.
And I thought he was going to play that.
But.
He's done so well.
Just feeding off of scraps.
Challenging for 50-50 balls.
And winning them.
Or at least getting his team up the pitch.
But just Rossi.
Has just been off the mark tonight.
The header down.
Into the path of Westwood.
To hit it.
A brilliant goal for Charlotte.
Forces Amundsen to be backpedalling.
And he can't get a clear header
with height and distance.
Puts it down into an area
that Westwood just steps onto.
And he catches everything.
Savas.
Hadjimaj in the middle.
Vargas wants it as well.
Petkovic is up there.
And it's a poor delivery really.
Just drove into trouble.
Why he didn't take his opportunity
to go 1v1.
Here's a chance for Hadjimaj.
And he absolutely roots it.
They're calling for goals.
And Puck is picking up.
Pass from Gianni.
Just puts it right into stride.
And Hadjimaj takes it on nicely.
Good first touch.
Takes it wide just enough
to open up the angle.
And then he snatches right through it.
Behind Alex Bono.
Who's already made one mistake tonight.
But was able to atone for his sins.
Down by Yarrow.
And it's in.
And an early load for St. Louis City.
Josh Yarrow with his first goal
in Major League Soccer.
Watch this ball.
Left footed Vasilev curls it away.
And Yarrow just sits right on the edge of the 6.
I mean, it looks like he's marked nearly
by Benteke.
I mean, how often do you see Benteke?
Yarrow, 29 years of age from Kumasi, Ghana.
Came up to the right to dream.
Academy in Ghana.
Stroud whips this in for Benteke.
What a save from Berkey.
But it's poked in.
And the immediate response from D.C. United.
And it's Ted Kuhn in a pin drop.
They weren't even done announcing
Josh Yarrow's goal yet.
On the PA.
And what a header and a ball in.
Pressure coming a little slower this time though.
Click.
Helps it along for Stroud.
He should be outside.
Benteke in the middle.
Stroud across.
And it's 2-1 to D.C.
Jaren Stroud serves it up on a platter
for Christian Benteke.
And after trailing 1-0.
Troy Lesane's bunch.
Out in front.
2-1.
Just holds his run enough.
Look at the spin-off move by Stroud.
And then that one-touch ball in by Click.
Well done.
Curls it around the foot.
Joel Claus.
Left.
St. Louis City right back into it.
It's 2-2 here at City Park.
And the game is very much back on.
D.P. to get his first of the year.
Yeah, I mean the keeper's almost got no chance
with that hesitation move.
It's nearly impossible.
It's difficult enough to save a penalty.
Voltaire.
Again.
They catch the mapping with a quick one.
Tommy.
Towards the far post.
Agada.
Chaloet.
Tries to get it back in.
Real chest hems from the short corner.
Catching LA Galaxy.
Get back in defensively.
And Rodoya was on hand.
Now they just add it to that.
And you're right.
It's a short corner kick by Sporting Kansas City.
But watch at the bottom of your screen.
As that ball gets played to the back post.
The reactions are slow from LA Galaxy.
What a ball that is though from Daniel Chaloet.
May have been under pressure.
Chaloet.
Looking to add to it.
Chaloet.
Whipped in.
Threw it in.
To Casey.
And again.
It's a set piece.
And a super finish.
And a scoreline that sums up just how dominant this first half has been.
SKC 2.
LA Galaxy 0.
Set pieces.
You would imagine the Galaxy would be switched on after conceding the first goal off of a set piece.
But it's a near post one.
A little bit of a deflection at the near post.
Back on the set piece.
Left footed.
Outswinging delivery.
Yoshida.
The obvious target.
Central.
Lucero.
Yoshida gets there.
Zabaleta with a touch.
Pooch.
Still not funny.
Glad it's in.
Zabaleta.
At Children's Mercy Park.
The Galaxy are back in it.
Of your players in the 18.
Yoshida does a good job of keeping this play alive.
But just watch how the players are just scrapping around.
And the reaction of Eric Zabaleta.
The impetus of this Galaxy sign going forward.
Here he is again.
It is different.
Because Edwin Surreal.
He's not going to always play the riskier pass.
Pooch again.
Jovovich in behind.
Again.
He scored.
And this time.
MLS striker.
To score.
In five straight to start the season.
What a moment for him.
And what a comeback to the Galaxy.
I told you don't write this team off.
Taking chances.
Look at Ricky Pooch on another screen.
Edwin Surreal.
He's not going to always take this risky pass.
But Gaston Bruggemann has the quality to pick that moment.
And all Ricky Pooch needs is a half window.
Paintzel.
Pooch.
Drive forward.
Paintzel.
This is really good from the Galaxy.
Peck.
It's going to come through for Gabriel Peck.
Peck could go for goal.
He does go for goal.
It's in.
But the flag has gone.
But this is so, so, so much better from the LA Galaxy.
Now he starts at the top of your screen.
Playing in a wider area.
That's why Paintzel can come a little bit more narrow.
Gabriel Peck with the shot.
Great run from Delgado.
And there's the sign.
And it's a goal.
Now the celebrations begin.
They go back down towards Mark Delgado.
Who's been electric.
Abbott's players still down.
Bassett got up.
On that Rosenberry cross.
Now look at this.
The other end.
Houston's breaking.
Smith.
Tucked a feed from Ferreira.
Smith.
Oh my goodness.
Brad Smith with a stutter.
The Dynamo.
Doing damage in Denver late.
Last seconds of the game.
There it goes.
Sebas Ferreira.
Right up the field.
There's a man down for Colorado.
But they don't mind.
Brad Smith definitely doesn't mind.
Calvin, 12th professional season.
His first away from Minnesota.
First 11 years of Minnesota United going back to their days.
Before they were in Major League Soccer.
And they were in an ASL club.
At the Weston.
Curls it in.
Oh, it's there.
It's in.
Forget about that record scoreless streak.
LAFC.
Break the drought.
And open the scoring at home.
1-0.
Tillman's in an offside position.
Because Willis comes off his line.
And if that ball is deflected.
12 of 13 in his professional career.
The only one he missed was for Leone.
Against Leone.
Excuse me.
To the goalkeeper's right.
Buwanga.
For his first of the season.
To give LAFC a two goal lead.
He does.
The weight is off the shoulders.
Last year's Golden Boot winner.
Opens his account in 2024.
And LAFC have doubled their lead.
And matched their previous season goal total.
Just 18 minutes in.
It's 2-0.
A wounded dog.
A mentality that has been shaken a little bit.
Mainly because they've...
Maybe just as intriguing as the results for LAFC as the year goes on.
Is how they fill out this roster.
There's room for Palencia.
Across towards Atuesta.
Oh he left it.
And Buwanga finally has his second tonight.
It had been coming.
The drought is over.
Buwanga with the brace.
LAFC up 3-0.
Just fantastic attack from LAFC.
And it's just so smart here for Atuesta to understand.
And still.
Segura.
Atuesta.
Martinez.
Oliveira!
What a goal from LAFC!
A combination of young starlets.
4-0.
The party continues at Bimo Stadium.
But how about this touch from the 18 year old from Venezuela.
Atuesta picking up his head.
Martinez.
Soft touch.
Clipping it.
Atuesta!
The cherry on top.
A fabulous fit for LAFC.
They're all the way back.
5-0 tonight over Nashville.
Timothy Tillman on a set piece.
Now it opens it up.
Buwanga with a couple.
And then how about this?
The cherry on top.
A diving header.
When you're expecting your opponent to have the high percentage
in terms of possession of the ball.
That's why it's so close.
Inside the box.
The header!
And it's Carranza!
With the header!
And it's 1-0 to the Union!
Portland.
They have something to celebrate.
This is just heart.
This is just effort.
This is all.
Take a little time.
Ruffinello with space.
Drives from distance!
And Quinn Sullivan gets it back!
And he gets it!
Sullivan.
Prizing hit.
It's 2-0 for the Union!
Eric Miller.
He's only watching the ball.
He gets caught ball-watching when he reacts.
It's too late.
Sullivan.
He's smelling the opportunity.
He goes inside of the box.
Easy tap in to score the second one.
He's always looking to break that line.
To play behind the back line.
Union in the break!
Gonza!
No six starters!
No problem!
They don't care if they're winning.
They're smart enough.
Portland Timbers players.
They're off.
They leave the ball over there.
McGraw trying to set up Ayala.
That will be Asprilla.
Has time to get it.
Moreno.
In a difficult situation for your team,
that right-hand side has been the best
in this game for the Timbers.
Espinosa, the all-time leader in assists
for the Quakes.
Lines it up.
Drives it to the top of the six.
First ball headed away.
Tevez trying to further it outside the 18,
but not out of danger yet if you're Seattle.
Jackson Ewell back inside of the back post!
And San Jose has found a lead!
A little bit of a deflection or a flick on here
from Paul Marie.
Sets up Vitor Costa.
Might be part of the equation for three points
for San Jose.
Judd asking for it in the space.
Flag stays down for the moment.
Preston Judd in on frame.
Out in front!
Espinosa!
But the offside flag is up.
That is really close to see him try to play that one.
And that's the decision when the momentum
your brain tells you just before half.
Got the read there.
Here's a decision from Gabriela Ciampi.
And it's a goal!
Two goals in a match for the first time this season
for the San Jose Earthquakes.
59 of those coming in MLS play.
To cut the lead and become the Sounders'
all-time leading scorer.
That's number 80!
It's 2-1!
Raul Ruiz Diaz!
And the Sounders have life.
You see him step up with full confidence.
Just a little clip down the middle.
Cleared out onto the feet of Christian Roldan.

This time, locking it in onto the back post!
And it's headed into the back of the net!
We're level!
The moose is loose in San Jose.
It's Danny Musafsky to open his Sounders account.
2-2!

This game's not over.
2-2.
Back the other way.
Out in front.
And it's 3-2!
Formosy not to be denied off the bench
to give San Jose back the lead!
Quick combination play.
