Events
Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between New York Red Bulls and FC Dallas is underway.
- 5' Herman Johansson is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for FC Dallas so far.
- 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 Ronald Donkor suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' It looks like no one’s ball. New York Red Bulls is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 20' It looks surprising FC Dallas does not make any changes. Juan Mina has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 25' The 33-year-old Ramiro has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 4 assists is a remarkable return.
- 30' FC Dallas has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 1 meetings.
- 35' Matthew Dos Santos, a USA , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 40' Emil Forsberg has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 45' The energy levels are beginning to show. Michael Bradley might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 50' New York Red Bulls started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 50.
- 55' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both New York Red Bulls and FC Dallas are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 60' FC Dallas fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 65' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 70' New York Red Bulls is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 75' FC Dallas looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
- 80' New York Red Bulls are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 85' Over 85 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 90' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
