Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Seattle Sounders FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' With 0 assists to his name this season, Paxton Pomykal is clearly more than just a goal scorer for FC Dallas.
- 10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
- 15' Michael Barrios is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Seattle Sounders FC tonight.
- 18' Seattle Sounders FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Raul Ruidiaz on 18.
- 22' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Jordan Morris makes it 2-0.
- 25' The referee has no hesitation. Bryan Acosta is booked for FC Dallas — Yellow card on 25.
- 30' 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.
- 35' It’s high time Luchi Gonzalez made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 39' What a moment for Reggie Cannon! That strike on 39 puts his side firmly in control.
- 44' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Reggie Cannon.
- 49' Jesse Gonzalez has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 54' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 59' 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 Gustav Svensson suffering a number of foals already.
- 64' GOAL! Matt Hedges fires home to make it 2-2!
- 67' Fresh legs for Seattle Sounders FC! Victor Rodriguez comes on to replace Brad Smith.
- 72' 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.
- 74' The deadlock is broken! Jordan Morris gets on the scoresheet on 74 minutes.
- 77' Time for substitution for FC Dallas. Bressan is replaced by Paxton Pomykal.
- 78' The crowd applauds Jesus Ferreira as he leaves the pitch. Santiago Mosquera steps in for FC Dallas.
- 82' Magnificent from Bryan Acosta! That is 4 goals in 288 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 87' Both keepers have barely been tested. Seattle Sounders FC and FC Dallas are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 88' Jesse Gonzalez has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 88.
- 90' Another change for FC Dallas made on 90 minute. Zdenek Ondrasek leaves to be changed by Jacori Hayes.
- The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for FC Dallas.
