Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Nashville SC gets underway.
- 5' Hany Mukhtar puts Nashville SC on the lead.
- 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Nashville SC that had 211 games and scored 305 goals.
- 20' Supporters expect more eagerness from David Romney, as he is very good at scoring at Nissan Stadium with 3 goals in the last 3 games.
- 25' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 26' GOAL! Jacob Shaffelburg scores on 26.
- 27' What a strike from Jacob Shaffelburg! The score is 3-0.
- 31' Paxton Pomykal is having his name booked by the referee on 31.
- 33' GOAL! Hany Mukhtar scores on 33.
- 38' 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 Tsiki Ntsabeleng suffering a number of foals already.
- 43' FC Dallas started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 43.
- 46' Time for substitution for FC Dallas. Edwin Cerrillo is replaced by Beni Redzic.
- 50' Another change for Nashville SC made on 50 minute. Shaq Moore leaves to be changed by Eric Miller.
- 55' Nashville SC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 60' It looks surprising Nashville SC does not make any changes. Paxton Pomykal has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 61' The supporters are chanting for Nkosi Burgess. He replaces Matt Hedges on 61 minute.
- 62' It’s a booking for FC Dallas player. Sebastian Lletget gets a Yellow card.
- 63' The referee calls foul for Sebastian Lletget. He receives a Yellow card.
- 67' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Ema Twumasi.
- 68' The Nashville SC manager makes a substitution. Dax McCarty departs to be replaced by Anibal Godoy.
- 72' Goal! David Romney scores his 9 goal in 278 matches.
- 74' Another change for FC Dallas made on 74 minute. Paul Arriola leaves to be changed by Nanu.
- 75' Nanu has so much to prove this time. He replaces Paul Arriola on 75 minute.
- 80' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 83' Time for substitution for Nashville SC. Sean Davis is replaced by Brian Anunga.
- 84' The supporters are chanting for Brian Anunga. He replaces Sean Davis on 84 minute.
- 89' 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.
- The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for FC Dallas.
