Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at PayPal Park!
- 5' Argentina international Alan Velasco has been a key figure this campaign — 3 goals and 3 assists in the Array this season.
- 10' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both San Jose Earthquakes and FC Dallas are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 14' Hernan Lopez Munoz has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 14 minutes.
- 15' Controversy at the stadium! Nkosi Burgess argues furiously but the card stands.
- 20' FC Dallas come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 25' FC Dallas has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
- 30' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Ian Russell will be considering his options from the bench.
- 35' 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 Sebastien Ibeagha suffering a number of foals already.
- 37' A moment of madness from Paul Marie on 37 minutes earns him a card. San Jose Earthquakes will be frustrated.
- 41' The Argentina Alan Velasco breaks the deadlock on 41 minutes. 1-1!
- 46' Bernard Kamungo has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ruan on 46 minute.
- 51' 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.
- 55' The referee calls foul for Alan Velasco. He receives a card.
- 60' It’s a booking for FC Dallas player. Sebastien Ibeagha gets a card.
- 62' It is a substitution in San Jose Earthquakes team. Carlos Akapo is replaced by Vitor Costa on 62 minute.
- 63' San Jose Earthquakes manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Jeremy Ebobisse is hanging Jack Skahan on the field on 63 minute.
- 68' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering San Jose Earthquakes that had 286 games and scored 429 goals.
- 71' It is a substitution in FC Dallas team. Petar Musa is replaced by Logan Farrington on 71 minute.
- 73' It’s a booking for San Jose Earthquakes player. Carlos Gruezo gets a card.
- 74' Paul Arriola was booked on 74.
- 75' Amahl Pellegrino has so much to prove this time. He replaces Paul Marie on 75 minute.
- 79' GOAL! Hernan Lopez Munoz scores on 79. Assisted by Amahl Pellegrino
- 80' FC Dallas make a change. Nkosi Burgess trudges off to be replaced by Ema Twumasi on 80 minutes.
- 81' Another change for San Jose Earthquakes made on 81 minute. Carlos Gruezo leaves to be changed by Alfredo Morales.
- 83' GOAL! Jeremy Ebobisse scores on 83. Assisted by Niko Tsakiris
- 84' Sebastian Lletget is replacing Illarramendi for the FC Dallas side.
- 89' Ruan is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for FC Dallas tonight.
