- 0' The ball is rolling at Toyota Stadium. FC Dallas are looking to make home advantage count against Nashville SC.
- 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Franco Jara made 281 appearances and scored 22 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 10' 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.
- 15' Over 15 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 20' The energy levels are beginning to show. Gary Smith might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 25' Panama international Anibal Godoy has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 1 assists in the Array this season.
- 30' FC Dallas have won 411 goals from 281 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 35' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 40' The referee calls foul for Franco Jara. He receives a Yellow card.
- 45' 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 Dax McCarty suffering a number of foals already.
- 50' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.

- 74' Another substitution for Nashville SC to replace Hany Mukhtar by Daniel Rios on 74 minute.
- 75' Time for substitution for Nashville SC. Anibal Godoy is replaced by David Accam.
- 80' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Nashville SC that had 211 games and scored 305 goals.
