Events
Match Events

- 5' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Minnesota United FC and FC Dallas are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 10' New Zealand international Michael Boxall has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.

- 20' Minnesota United FC are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against FC Dallas's 4-3-3 shape.

- 41' FC Dallas come into this ranked 10 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 45' A meaty challenge results in booking for Jose Martinez on 45.
- 50' 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 Jesus Jimenez suffering a number of foals already.

- 70' A change in the Minnesota United FC ranks — Sang-Bin Jung exits the field as Mender Garcia enters on 70.
- 75' The travelling FC Dallas supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 78' FC Dallas manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Jesus Jimenez is hanging Jader Obrian on the field on 78 minute.
- 83' Jose Martinez has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 86' Franco Fragapane picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from to claim maximum points.
