Events

Match Events

  • 5' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.

  • 25' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.

  • 34' Against the run of play, Fafa Picault has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 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.

  • 44' Memo Rodriguez was booked on 44.
