Events

Match Events

0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Toyota Stadium!
5' What a strike from Jesus Ferreira! The score is 1-0.
10' 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 Jasper Loffelsend suffering a number of foals already.
15' It looks surprising FC Dallas does not make any changes. Daniel Musovski has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
20' Over 20 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
25' 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.
30' Real Salt Lake is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
35' Supporters expect more eagerness from Rubio Rubin, as he is very good at scoring at Toyota Stadium with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
40' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
45' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FC Dallas needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
46' Braian Ojeda gets the nod from Real Salt Lake. He replaces Jasper Loeffelsend and will look to change the dynamic.
49' A moment of madness from Rubio Rubin on 49 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Real Salt Lake will be frustrated.
54' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
59' Ilijah Paul has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 14 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
64' FC Dallas currently sit 9 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
65' Real Salt Lake manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Justin Meram is hanging Carlos Gomez on the field on 65 minute.
66' Another substitution for Real Salt Lake to replace Bode Davis by Emeka Eneli on 66 minute.
68' Against the run of play, Jefferson Savarino has scored! This game has turned on its head.

74' A moment of madness from Brayan Vera on 74 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Real Salt Lake will be frustrated.
79' Anderson Julio has been relatively quiet despite scoring 32 goals in his last 280 appearances.
81' Fresh legs for Real Salt Lake! Daniel Musovski comes on to replace Anderson Julio.
82' Tsiki Ntsabeleng has so much to prove this time. He replaces Sebastian Lletget on 82 minute.
87' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Brayan Vera made 190 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
88' Bernard Kamungo is having a superb {COMPETITION} campaign — that is 0 goals this season for the .
90' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Jesus Ferreira.
90' Real Salt Lake ring the changes. Rubio Rubin has done his job and it is now time for Ilijah Paul to step up.
Real Salt Lake will have plenty to reflect on. FC Dallas were simply the better side today.
