Events
Match Events
- 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and FC Dallas launch into their encounter with Los Angeles Galaxy.
- 5' 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 Jonathan dos Santos suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' A quiet spell here at . FC Dallas seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 15' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 20' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Los Angeles Galaxy needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 21' Rolf Feltscher was booked on 21.
- 26' It looks like no one’s ball. Los Angeles Galaxy is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 31' Los Angeles Galaxy looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Joseph Paintsil scoring 1 goals.
- 35' It’s a booking for Los Angeles Galaxy player. Sebastian Lletget gets a Yellow card.
- 40' Santiago Mosquera, a Colombia , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 45' FC Dallas are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 46' A tactical swap from FC Dallas — Marcos Pedroso on, Reggie Cannon off on 46 minutes.
- 51' Pablo Aranguiz has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 53' Magnificent from Reto Ziegler! That is 15 goals in 284 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 58' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Dominique Badji made 284 appearances and scored 32 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 59' Los Angeles Galaxy manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Efrain Alvarez is hanging Sebastian Lletget on the field on 59 minute.
- 61' What a moment for Bryan Acosta! That strike on 61 puts his side firmly in control.
- 63' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Matt Hedges.
- 68' Over 68 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 71' A meaty challenge results in booking for Daniel Steres on 71.
- 75' Diego Polenta has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 75.
- 75' The crowd applauds Ema Boateng as he leaves the pitch. Ethan Zubak steps in for Los Angeles Galaxy.
- 79' Edwin Cerrillo is replacing Santiago Mosquera for the FC Dallas side.
- 80' FC Dallas receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 80.
- 85' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 89' Another change for FC Dallas made on 89 minute. Michael Barrios leaves to be changed by Pablo Aranguiz.
- 90' Jonathan dos Santos has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 90.
