Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at . Ninety minutes of football awaits between Real Salt Lake and FC Dallas.
  • 5' FC Dallas seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 10' 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.
  • 15' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with FC Dallas winning 100% of all matches.
  • 20' FC Dallas looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Santiago Moreno scoring 1 goals.
  • 25' Both keepers have barely been tested. Real Salt Lake and FC Dallas are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 30' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 35' Michael Barrios is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for FC Dallas so far.
  • 40' Kristoffer Reaves needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 45' Santiago Mosquera has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 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 Nick Rimando suffering a number of foals already.
  • 55' United States international Sebastian Saucedo has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 60' Real Salt Lake are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 65' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Dallas that had 284 games and scored 413 goals.
  • 70' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 75' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 75 minutes.
  • 80' Supporters expect more eagerness from Kyle Beckerman, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 85' With 3 assists to his name this season, Albert Rusnak is clearly more than just a goal scorer for FC Dallas.
  • 90' The home supporters are growing impatient. Real Salt Lake must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • Game over. The scoreline of 2-0 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
