Events

Match Events

0' In just a few seconds Toyota Stadium will turn into a battlefield for FC Dallas and Real Salt Lake.
5' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Jesus Ferreira makes no mistake. 1-0!
10' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His FC Dallas side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
15' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
20' FC Dallas looks like a favorite considering 2 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Petar Musa scoring 2 goals.
25' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
30' It looks surprising FC Dallas does not make any changes. Facundo Quignon has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
35' It looks like no one’s ball. Real Salt Lake is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
40' Real Salt Lake have won 442 goals from 299 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
45' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Pablo Mastroeni will be considering his options from the bench.
46' The Real Salt Lake manager makes a substitution. Jasper Loeffelsend departs to be replaced by Braian Ojeda.
49' Rubio Rubin catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 49.
54' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
59' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
64' 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 Paul Arriola suffering a number of foals already.
65' A change in the Real Salt Lake ranks — Carlos Gomez exits the field as Justin Meram enters on 65.
66' It is a substitution in Real Salt Lake team. Bode Davis is replaced by Emeka Eneli on 66 minute.
68' Brilliant from the ! Jefferson Savarino makes it 1-1 with a superb finish on 68.
70' Geovane picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
72' Bernard Kamungo is ready to make an impact after coming on for Jesus Jimenez at the 72 minute mark.
74' Brayan Vera is having his name booked by the referee on 74.
79' FC Dallas has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 2 of the last 2 meetings.
81' A tactical swap from Real Salt Lake — Daniel Musovski on, Anderson Julio off on 81 minutes.
82' FC Dallas make a change. Sebastian Lletget trudges off to be replaced by Tsiki Ntsabeleng on 82 minutes.
87' Over 87 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
88' A stunning finish from Bernard Kamungo — that came from absolutely nowhere!
90' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Jesus Ferreira on 90 minutes.
90' It is a substitution in Real Salt Lake team. Rubio Rubin is replaced by Ilijah Paul on 90 minute.
Full Time. FC Dallas beats Real Salt Lake
