  • 5' Petar Musa has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 34 cards already picked up this season.
  • 10' It looks like no one’s ball. Real Salt Lake is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.

  • 50' Against the run of play, Morgan Guilavogui has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 55' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Real Salt Lake that had 291 games and scored 428 goals.
  • 56' The crowd applauds Kaick as he leaves the pitch. Christian Cappis steps in for FC Dallas.
  • 61' Diego Luna has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 61.
