Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Toyota Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' Sporting Kansas City fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 10' It looks surprising FC Dallas does not make any changes. Graham Zusi has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 12' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Alan Pulido makes no mistake. 0-1!
  • 17' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 22' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 27' Szabolcs Schon is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Sporting Kansas City tonight.
  • 32' 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 Edwin Cerrillo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 37' Sporting Kansas City started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 37.
  • 38' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Jesus Ferreira.
  • 43' Ema Twumasi has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 46' FC Dallas manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Bryan Acosta is hanging Edwin Cerrillo on the field on 46 minute.
  • 50' Matt Hedges was booked on 50.
  • 55' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Luchi Gonzalez will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 60' The home supporters are growing impatient. FC Dallas must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 62' A tactical swap from FC Dallas — Jader Obrian on, Paxton Pomykal off on 62 minutes.
  • 63' A goal from the Hungary international Daniel Salloi! He fires home on 63 to make it 0-2!
  • 67' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Jader Obrian.
  • 68' FC Dallas receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 68.
  • 73' FC Dallas ring the changes. Jesus Ferreira has done his job and it is now time for Franco Daniel Jara to step up.
  • 76' Freddy Vargas was booked on 76.
  • 81' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 83' FC Dallas make a change. Facundo Quignon trudges off to be replaced by Andres Ricaurte on 83 minutes.
  • 88' Jader Obrian has been relatively quiet despite scoring 24 goals in his last 284 appearances.
  • 89' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Ema Twumasi.
  • 90' That is a Yellow card for Sporting Kansas City. Gadi Kinda will be fuming at that decision.
