Events
Match Events
- 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. FC Dallas is hosting Orlando City SC for another epic battle.
- 5' FC Dallas is showing some good football. However, FC Dallas are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Mohamed El Mounir made 286 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 15' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Orlando City SC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 20' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 25' FC Dallas are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 30' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 35' The 35-year-old Ryan Hollingshead has been sensational this season — 1 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 40' Jesse Gonzalez has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 45' Scott Sutter is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for FC Dallas tonight.
- 50' Pablo Aranguiz has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 284 appearances.
- 55' Richie Laryea is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for FC Dallas so far.
- 60' 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 Will Johnson suffering a number of foals already.
- 65' Orlando City SC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 70' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Orlando City SC that had 286 games and scored 432 goals.
- 75' Orlando City SC have won 432 goals from 286 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 80' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
