Events
Match Events
- 0' Three points are at stake. Colorado Rapids SC host FC Dallas — let the battle begin!
- 5' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with FC Dallas winning 100% of all matches.
- 10' Colorado Rapids SC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 15' FC Dallas looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Santiago Moreno scoring 1 goals.
- 20' Colorado Rapids SC 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' FC Dallas is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jesse Gonzalez made 281 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 35' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Colorado Rapids SC that had 272 games and scored 394 goals.
- 40' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 45' Victor Ulloa has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 50' Both keepers have barely been tested. Colorado Rapids SC and FC Dallas are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 55' Colorado Rapids SC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 60' 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 Carlos Gruezo suffering a number of foals already.
- 65' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 65 minutes.
- 70' The 35-year-old Michael Barrios has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 75' Albania international Shkelzen Gashi has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 80' 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.
- 85' With 0 assists to his name this season, Marlon Hairston is clearly more than just a goal scorer for FC Dallas.
- 90' Colorado Rapids SC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- The referee brings this contest to a close. Colorado Rapids SC take all three points.
