Events
Match Events
- 0' What a night it is going to be! FC Dallas welcome Columbus Crew SC for this crunch clash at Toyota Stadium.
- 5' With 0 assists to his name this season, Jose Martinez is clearly more than just a goal scorer for FC Dallas.
- 10' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 15' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 20' 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 Sebastien Ibeagha suffering a number of foals already.
- 24' GOAL! Nkosi Burgess scores on 24.
- 29' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 3-4-2-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 34' The home supporters are growing impatient. FC Dallas must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 39' It looks like no one’s ball. FC Dallas is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 43' Jader Obrian adds to his 0 season tally! FC Dallas lead 2-0 — and this changes everything.
- 48' 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.
- 52' That is a card for Columbus Crew SC. Sean Zawadzki will be fuming at that decision.
- 57' 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.
- 59' The referee calls foul for Paul Arriola. He receives a card.
- 60' Rudy Camacho has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 60.
- 63' FC Dallas make a change. Facundo Quignon trudges off to be replaced by Paxton Pomykal on 63 minutes.
- 68' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 68 minutes.
- 73' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Yaw Yeboah made 287 appearances and scored 6 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 75' A tactical swap from FC Dallas — Dante Sealy on, Jose Martinez off on 75 minutes.
- 80' Alexandru Matan has been relatively quiet despite scoring 5 goals in his last 8 appearances.
- 82' The FC Dallas manager makes a substitution. Jader Obrian departs to be replaced by Eugene Ansah.
- 85' That looks like a foul for a card for Illarramendi.
- 88' Fresh legs for Columbus Crew SC! Christian Ramirez comes on to replace Alexandru Matan.
- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
