Events
Match Events
- 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Colorado Rapids SC and FC Dallas get this one started.
- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Dallas that had 300 games and scored 443 goals.
- 10' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 15' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 20' The travelling FC Dallas supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 25' 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.
- 30' The home supporters are growing impatient. Colorado Rapids SC must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 35' The 31-year-old Santiago Mosquera has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 40' It looks like no one’s ball. FC Dallas is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 45' 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.
- 50' Marcos Pedroso has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 55' Colorado Rapids SC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against FC Dallas's shape.
- 60' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Colorado Rapids SC and FC Dallas are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 65' Both keepers have barely been tested. Colorado Rapids SC and FC Dallas are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 70' 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 Reggie Cannon suffering a number of foals already.
- 75' Axel Sjoberg has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 80' Shkelzen Gashi has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 85' Colorado Rapids SC is showing some good football. However, Colorado Rapids SC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 90' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- The points are shared — Colorado Rapids SC 2-1 FC Dallas. Honours even.
