Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. FC Dallas get us underway at Toyota Stadium.
  • 5' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 10' named a 4-3-3 earlier, and opted for a 4-5-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 15' FC Dallas are deployed in a 4-3-3 today, looking to exploit space against Los Angeles Galaxy's 4-5-1 shape.
  • 20' Jonathan Bond has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 25' Efrain Alvarez needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 30' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Los Angeles Galaxy winning 0% of all matches.
  • 35' The Spain Riqui Puig breaks the deadlock on 35 minutes. 0-1!
  • 40' The 27-year-old Preston Judd has been sensational this season — 9 goals and 3 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 41' Marky Delgado is having his name booked by the referee on 41.
  • 46' FC Dallas are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 47' What a moment for Alan Velasco! That strike on 45 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 52' 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.
  • 54' Edwin Cerrillo was booked on 54.
  • 56' The USA Jesus Ferreira breaks the deadlock on 56 minutes. 2-1!
  • 58' The referee calls foul for Kelvin Leerdam. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 63' 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 Maarten Paes suffering a number of foals already.
  • 64' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Jesus Ferreira makes no mistake. 3-1!
  • 66' Daniel Aguirre has so much to prove this time. He replaces Memo Rodriguez on 66 minute.

  • 80' Fresh legs for FC Dallas! Sebastien Ibeagha comes on to replace Paxton Pomykal.
  • 85' 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.
  • 86' The whistle greets Paul Arriola as he departs to be replaced by Tsiki Ntsabeleng.
  • 90' A moment of madness from Jader Obrian on 90 minutes earns him a Yellow card. FC Dallas will be frustrated.
  • The points are shared — FC Dallas 3-1 Los Angeles Galaxy. Honours even.
