- 15' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 20' Michael Barrios has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 15 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 25' Toronto FC 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.
- 30' FC Dallas has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
- 35' 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.
- 40' FC Dallas looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
- 45' Maximiliano Urruti needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 50' 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.
- 55' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 60' The travelling FC Dallas supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.

- 90' FC Dallas fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
