North America Open Cup - Third Round

FC Dallas vs Wake Forest


Attendance: 14805

-- nice sized crowd that has come to see us get destroyed today!

-- I guess 50-1 is the worst odds one can get? Same odds we had to beat Wilmington recently.

GK: Gyan
D: Campbell/Pickering/Galvis/Jackson
DM: Williams
M: Tapia/Shakespeare
AM: Rose/Cooper
ST: Navarro

3': They take a corner to the near post, Campbell is there, in fact, he's all alone there, no Dallas players at all. But he heads it the wrong way, into his own goal. Nerves? 0-1

8': One Dallas shot off the post, a nice save on the rebound. Corner for them. Taken to Bianchi who heads it in. 0-2

44': Some nifty, quick passing around our defensive end by Dallas, leading to a nice strong shot from Erick 20 yards out for a goal. 0-3

HALF: The dream is over. They have 9 shots to our 0.


56': A rebound goal for McInerney... actually I dunno that looked like another Campbell own goal. Thank god it wasn't counted that way, poor guy. 0-4

56': Roth, Pace and Sandoval in for Navarro, Cooper, and Shakespeare. The three guys on the field I would miss the most if they got hurt.

70': Pace with an interception on our side of midfield, he's allowed to make a long run down the right side, places a cross, Roth with a volley... saved.. Our first on target shot! Second shot total today.

75': They win a header on a goal kick, its headed well ahead of the defense, ST Avila is so much faster than anyone on our team, he easily gets to it ahead of everyone else and puts it by Gyan with ease. 0-5

85': Brian Williams is hurt and forced to leave the match. Lets hope its not serious.

FC Dallas 5 : 0 Wake Forest

They outshot us 16-3, basically exactly what you'd expect from a match like this.

Jackson, Pickering and Campbell were all under 6, Pickering 5.4/Campbell 5.5. Rose 5.9, everyone else low 6's.


Injury Update

Disaster, the one thing we would want to avoid here today. DMC Brian Williams is going to miss 3-4 months with a torn hamstring.

-- We're now out of every cup. We have 7 matches before the league split, all of them will be in July. More on that in a moment though.
