Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. FC Dallas host Portland Timbers — let the battle begin!
  • 5' FC Dallas are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 10' The travelling Portland Timbers supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 15' Portland Timbers fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 20' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 25' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Dallas that had 281 games and scored 411 goals.
  • 30' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 30 minutes.
  • 35' 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 Anton Nedyalkov suffering a number of foals already.
  • 40' Bill Tuiloma needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 45' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His FC Dallas side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 50' Sebastian Blanco has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 55' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 60' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 65' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Portland Timbers needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 70' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 75' The energy levels are beginning to show. Óscar Pareja might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 80' Dairon Asprilla has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 85' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 90' It is a cagey affair so far. FC Dallas in their trying to find a way past Portland Timbers's compact .
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-1.
