Events
Match Events
- 0' That's the starting whistle at Lumen Field. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Seattle Sounders FC and FC Dallas.
- 5' FC Dallas started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
- 10' A quiet spell here at Lumen Field. Seattle Sounders FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 15' Seattle Sounders FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 20' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 24' Poor challenge from Yeimar Gomez. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 29' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Tsiki Ntsabeleng made 281 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 34' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Seattle Sounders FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 39' A stunning finish from Nicolas Lodeiro — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 39' Maarten Paes has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 39.
- 44' Over 44 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 46' Jesus Ferreira has so much to prove this time. He replaces Josue Quinonez on 46 minute.
- 51' Supporters expect more eagerness from Edwin Cerrillo, as he is very good at scoring at Lumen Field with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 56' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 61' The crowd applauds Jader Obrian as he leaves the pitch. Paul Arriola steps in for FC Dallas.
- 65' Kelyn Rowe gets the nod from Seattle Sounders FC. He replaces Leo Chu and will look to change the dynamic.
- 70' Maarten Paes is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Seattle Sounders FC so far.

- 76' The crowd applauds Brandon Servania as he leaves the pitch. Paxton Pomykal steps in for FC Dallas.
- 81' 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 Nanu suffering a number of foals already.
- 86' It’s high time Brian Schmetzer made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 87' FC Dallas ring the changes. Edwin Cerrillo has done his job and it is now time for Tsiki Ntsabeleng to step up.

- 1-0 the final result. FC Dallas will be bitterly disappointed.
