Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: FC Dallas gets underway.
- 5' It’s high time Luchi Gonzalez made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 10' Goal! Gaston Sauro scores his 2 goal in 284 matches.
- 15' Columbus Crew SC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
- 20' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 25' Supporters expect more eagerness from Dominique Badji, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 30' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 35' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FC Dallas needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 40' 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.
- 44' FC Dallas receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 44.
- 49' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 49 minutes.
- 54' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 59' 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.
- 64' FC Dallas is showing some good football. However, FC Dallas are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
