Game Summary
First Half:

  • 10’ – Paxton Pomykal drove forward from the midfield and eventually took the strike, but his shot was pushed over by Bill Hamid.
  • 16’ – Pomykal held the ball up on the edge of D.C. United’s box and laid it off to Servania but his low first-time shot went just wide of the far post.
  • 42’ – A cross was swung in and Wayne Rooney headed straight at Jesse Gonzalez who dived to save the shot and seconds later got to his feet to deny Rooney on the rebound.

Second Half:

  • 66’ – Mosquera beat two defenders inside the box and his shot was parried into the path of Dominique Badji who had an easy tap-in into the empty net to give FC Dallas a 2-0 lead.
  • 68’ – Mosquera ran down the wing and his clever cutback found Michael Barrios unmarked from 10 yards, who fired his shot over the bar.
  • 73’ – D.C. United went down to 10 men after Luciano Acosta was dismissed following a VAR review on his foul against Paxton Pomykal.
  • 80’ – Ryan Hollingshead picked up the loose ball and drove into the box, but he could only blaze over the bar.
