Events

Match Events

  • 0' And we are off! Portland Timbers vs FC Dallas — let the football do the talking.
  • 5' Brazil international Thiago Santos has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 10' It’s high time Luchi Gonzalez made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 15' Portland Timbers are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 20' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Giovanni Savarese will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 25' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 30' A goal from the Argentina international Franco Jara! He fires home on 30 to make it 0-1!
  • 35' Portland Timbers currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 36' That is a Yellow card for FC Dallas. Fafa Picault will be fuming at that decision.
  • 41' 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 Tanner Tessmann suffering a number of foals already.
  • 45' Eryk Williamson makes way for Cristhian Paredes at the 45 minute mark. A tactical switch from Portland Timbers.
  • 50' Over 50 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 55' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Diego Valeri made 307 appearances and scored 43 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 60' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 61' FC Dallas ring the changes. Jesus Ferreira has done his job and it is now time for Tanner Tessmann to step up.
  • 66' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Portland Timbers that had 307 games and scored 498 goals.
  • 71' 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.
  • 75' Andres Ricaurte catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 75.
  • 80' Time for substitution for FC Dallas. Andres Ricaurte is replaced by Ema Twumasi.
  • 82' What a moment for Jorge Villafana! That strike on 82 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 85' Ricardo Pepi has so much to prove this time. He replaces John Nelson on 85 minute.
  • 86' A change in the FC Dallas ranks — Thiago Santos exits the field as Michael Barrios enters on 86.
  • 88' Portland Timbers make a change. Felipe Mora trudges off to be replaced by Jeremy Ebobisse on 88 minutes.
  • The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
