Events
Match Events
- 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Seattle Sounders FC is hosting FC Dallas for another epic battle.
- 5' FC Dallas started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
- 10' Christian Cappis has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 15' Goal! Jesus Ferreira scores his 64 goal in 281 matches.
- 20' 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.
- 25' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 27' A meaty challenge results in booking for Nicholas Simmonds on 27.
- 30' What a strike from Jordan Morris! The score is 2-0.
- 35' 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.
- 40' GOAL! Nolan Norris scores on 40. Assisted by Santiago Moreno
- 45' Patrickson Delgado was booked on 45.
- 46' Time for substitution for FC Dallas. Louicius Don Deedson is replaced by Herman Johansson.
- 51' It looks like no one’s ball. FC Dallas is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 52' Lalas Abubakar was booked on 52.
- 54' The whistle greets Lalas Abubakar as he departs to be replaced by Shaq Moore.
- 59' The travelling FC Dallas supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 64' 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 Snyder Brunell suffering a number of foals already.
- 68' Another substitution for Seattle Sounders FC to replace Danny Musovski by Peter Kingston on 68 minute.
- 73' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Seattle Sounders FC that had 284 games and scored 450 goals.
- 77' Another change for FC Dallas made on 77 minute. Samuel Sarver leaves to be changed by Kaick.
- 82' Peter Kingston was booked on 82.
- 83' It is a substitution in Seattle Sounders FC team. Jordan Morris is replaced by Osaze De Rosario on 83 minute.
- 88' Seattle Sounders FC is showing some good football. However, Seattle Sounders FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 89' Nolan Norris was booked on 89.
- 90' Another change for Seattle Sounders FC made on 90 minute. Snyder Brunell leaves to be changed by Cody Baker.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Seattle Sounders FC players.
