- 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Joaquin Valiente made 4 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 18' A stunning finish from Santiago Moreno — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 23' A moment of madness from Osaze Urhoghide on 23 minutes earns him a card. FC Dallas will be frustrated.

- 70' 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 Ramiro suffering a number of foals already.
- 75' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Real Salt Lake needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
