0' Welcome to Earthquakes Stadium that hosts another battle between San Jose Earthquakes and FC Dallas.
5' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Luchi Gonzalez will be considering his options from the bench.
10' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FC Dallas needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
15' Jader Obrian has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 23 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
16' Ryan Hollingshead has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 16.
21' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
25' Bryan Acosta is having his name booked by the referee on 25.
30' 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 Carlos Fierro suffering a number of foals already.
33' Poor challenge from Tanner Tessmann. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
34' Magnificent from Oswaldo Alanis! That is 5 goals in 287 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
39' Both keepers have barely been tested. San Jose Earthquakes and FC Dallas are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
44' 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.
45' It’s a booking for San Jose Earthquakes player. Javier Lopez gets a Yellow card.
49' Assisted by Cade Cowell with the perfectly-timed delivery and Cristian Espinoza makes no mistake. 2-0!
53' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Carlos Fierro.
58' Bressan is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for FC Dallas tonight.
59' Magnificent from Cade Cowell! That is 12 goals in 287 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
60' The whistle greets Tanner Tessmann as he departs to be replaced by Paxton Pomykal.
61' Fresh legs for FC Dallas! Phelipe Megiolaro comes on to replace Jimmy Maurer.
66' 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.
71' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
72' The crowd applauds Carlos Fierro as he leaves the pitch. Chris Wondolowski steps in for San Jose Earthquakes.
74' Franco Jara makes way for Ricardo Pepi at the 74 minute mark. A tactical switch from FC Dallas.

79' Goal! Ricardo Pepi scores his 60 goal in 289 matches.
81' A change in the San Jose Earthquakes ranks — Paul Marie exits the field as Judson enters on 81.
84' San Jose Earthquakes ring the changes. Cade Cowell has done his job and it is now time for Siad Haji to step up.
89' Chris Wondolowski picks up a Red card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
