Castillo whistles a shot over the Seattle crossbar. Still scoreless through 21 minutes #SEAvsDAL

21' > Fabian with a 'meg and a STRIKE from distance that goes just over the bar. 0-0 in #FCDvSEA

by FC Dallas via twitter 11/9/2015 1:06:57 AM
21’ - Castillooooo whistles a shot from just outside the box just high. Naganna work from there, FabC.

22' > Barrios taken down…No call. #FCDvSEA

by FC Dallas via twitter 11/9/2015 1:07:25 AM
23’ - SOCCER’S GOOD twitter.com/ActualJoshNyma…

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 11/9/2015 1:07:52 AM
Dempsey has dropped back as the left winger. Valdez up top with Martins, Ivanschitz on the right flank

by Matt Pentz via twitter 11/9/2015 1:08:12 AM
23’ - Impressed by the defensive shape so far. Everything in front. Once FCD sneaks behind, your life is no longer your own.

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 11/9/2015 1:08:53 AM
Impressed by Seattle's defensive discipline so far. Fisher, especially, has been solid

by Matt Pentz via twitter 11/9/2015 1:12:17 AM
26’ - Consider in one season Seattle went from MLS' most patient possession team to one of its best on the counter on either side of summer.

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 11/9/2015 1:12:17 AM
29’ - Gears of this game are grinding down, slowly. One goal and we’ll all go and ride the big ferris wheel, OK?

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 11/9/2015 1:14:37 AM
30’ - Friberg’s cross hits Hollingshead IN THE HEAD for a corner. That’s the best thing.

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 11/9/2015 1:15:23 AM
30' > Sounders corner cleared away by Ulloa to keep it 0-0. #FCDvSEA

by FC Dallas via twitter 11/9/2015 1:15:36 AM
30’ - Ivanschitz’s corner is cleared off and FCD is riding its horses downfield to break. Life comes at you fast.

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 11/9/2015 1:16:07 AM
This game has settled in after that frantic start. Dallas will be fine with seeing zeroes for a while

by Matt Pentz via twitter 11/9/2015 1:17:05 AM
Home teams now 5-0-1 in conference semifinals. Impressive.

Really hate when no one nationally gives your team (@FCDallas ) credit.

by AlansParrents via twitter retweeted by FCDallas 11/9/2015 1:17:47 AM
33’ - Long spell of FCD possession in Seattle’s half ends with a NAILS pickpocket from Valdez, who brought his tacklin’ shoes today.

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 11/9/2015 1:18:27 AM
33' > Je-Vaughn denies a Dempsey chance on a loose ball inside the 18 #FCDvSEA

by FC Dallas via twitter 11/9/2015 1:18:49 AM
34’ - DEMPSEY’S HUNGRY LET HIM EAT. Dempsey gets on a ball just inside the box but his shot is cleared off. Heating up.

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 11/9/2015 1:19:27 AM
34’ - Is Chad Marshall a real ice cube. Just guided a ball to Frei with Castillo on his back like Han bringing that ship into the DeathStar.

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 11/9/2015 1:20:37 AM
35' > Mauro with a shot from 20 yards out that gets blocked in front. #FCDvSEA

by FC Dallas via twitter 11/9/2015 1:20:41 AM
35’ - OH MAN. Ivanschitz guides Mears into the box with a touch of FINEST SATIN but Mears’ cross can’t find a dance partner. Zeroes.

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 11/9/2015 1:21:29 AM
About that. End-to-end moves have ended with a blocked Dempsey shot and a Mears cross that trickled all the way through the box

by Matt Pentz via twitter 11/9/2015 1:22:03 AM
38’ - Club Legend Zach Scott™ has been a literal slab of granite in the middle so far. Amazed, at 35, how fresh he looks in NOVEMBER.

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 11/9/2015 1:24:18 AM
Dallas is giving away a lot of cheap free kicks. Ivanschitz is going to make FCD pay eventually

by Matt Pentz via twitter 11/9/2015 1:25:14 AM
41’ - IVANSCHITZ will a nifty FK that’s cleared out after Marshall hammered a half-volley at the top of the box. Closer...

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 11/9/2015 1:26:32 AM
This crowd is already getting restless #SEAvsDAL

by Matt Pentz via twitter 11/9/2015 1:27:12 AM
42’ - I speak for all the nerves in the state of Washington and locations distant that a goal would help global blood pressure levels.

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 11/9/2015 1:27:54 AM
43' > Barrios with a chance on the counter off a Diaz cross, but his half volley is stopped by Frei. #FCDvSEA

by FC Dallas via twitter 11/9/2015 1:28:28 AM
Mauro Diaz, man. All it takes is one look. He picks out Barrios behind Seattle's D but the shot is straight at Frei

by Matt Pentz via twitter 11/9/2015 1:28:34 AM
43’ - FREI SAVE. Barrios snaps off a shot from just outside the box but Frei smothers it like chili on a hot dog. Too suave.

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 11/9/2015 1:28:42 AM
Man of the match @CedrickM22 🙌

45' > Loyd deflects a shot that Jesse has to jump to push over the bar to keep it 0-0. #FCDvSEA

by FC Dallas via twitter 11/9/2015 1:30:26 AM
That was some move by Martins, freeing himself up then playing Valdez into space. Deflected shot tipped over the bar by a panicky Gonzalez

by Matt Pentz via twitter 11/9/2015 1:30:32 AM
45’ - DID WAIT THAT ALMOST. Valdez’s long range shot is deflected and it almost. went. in. Gonzalez frantically clears. Man. MAN.

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 11/9/2015 1:30:40 AM
45' > One minute of stoppage time. #FCDvSEA

by FC Dallas via twitter 11/9/2015 1:30:54 AM
Go @FCDallas and Go @dallascowboys !

HALF: @FCDallas 0, @SoundersFC 0. #FCDvSEA http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CTVUfDrUsAAU9br.jpg

by FC Dallas via twitter 11/9/2015 1:32:00 AM
HALFTIME: Sounders 0, FC Dallas 0 (Seattle leads 2-1 on aggregate). Entertaining, nervy 45 minutes -- with at least 45 more to come

by Matt Pentz via twitter 11/9/2015 1:32:29 AM
HALFTIME: @SoundersFC and FC Dallas head into half at 0-0. Wide open headed into the crucial final 45 minutes.

by Sounders Matchday via twitter 11/9/2015 1:32:29 AM
Looking forward to the conference final. 2 best teams in the East all yr meet for the chance to go to MLS Cup. Very fitting. Should be fun.

by Dax McCarty via twitter retweeted by MLS 11/9/2015 1:32:34 AM
Seattle managed the space well in that first half. Counter for Barrios underscores threat FCD poses if those efforts falter. #SEAvDAL #MLS
