Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for FC Dallas to score. At the same time, St. Louis City does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' Maarten Paes needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 10' The travelling St. Louis City supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 15' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 20' FC Dallas are deployed in a 4-3-3 today, looking to exploit space against St. Louis City's 4-1-2-1-2 shape.
- 23' Fresh legs for FC Dallas! Jesus Jimenez comes on to replace Paul Arriola.
- 25' Nicholas Gioacchini picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 30' A quiet spell here at Toyota Stadium. FC Dallas seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 35' Eduard Lowen has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 2 goals this season.
- 40' 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.
- 45' The referee calls foul for Tomas Ostrak. He receives a Yellow card.
- 47' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Tim Parker.
- 51' Edwin Cerrillo has so much to prove this time. He replaces Sebastian Lletget on 51 minute.
- 56' Roman Burki has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 61' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 61 minutes.
- 66' It looks like no one’s ball. FC Dallas is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 67' That is a card for St. Louis City. Lucas Bartlett will be fuming at that decision.
- 72' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His FC Dallas side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 77' 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 Miguel Perez suffering a number of foals already.
- 80' The USA Jesus Ferreira breaks the deadlock on 80 minutes. 1-0!
- 85' named a 4-3-3 earlier, and opted for a 4-1-2-1-2 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 88' FC Dallas manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Nkosi Burgess is hanging Alan Velasco on the field on 88 minute.
- 89' The USA Marco Farfan breaks the deadlock on 89 minutes. 2-0!
- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 2-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
