WHAT’S UP: It’s Match Day 1! Time to kick off the 2019 Major League Soccer season as the Revs head to Big D, looking for a Big 3 to start the campaign.
Sean here at the Farm for the season opener. The starting XI's and benches are available. Game notes are below the log. The match is underway.
Revs will be without Michael Mancienne today; he suffered an injury in warm-ups. There are no details as to what happened as of yet. Jalil Anibaba starts in his place.
The Revs get us underway.
2' Bunbury pulls a shot wide after a header by Agudelo.
8' Gil gets bullied off the ball. Hmmm.
8' Dallas' first shot is by Reggie Cannon after Barrios gets by Penilla... good crack-back by Caldwell in the defending. Cannon's shot goes over the bar.
10' Knighton makes the first save as Badji takes on Delamea... good counter by Dallas after a Revs' counter fizzled.
12' ALMOST for Agudelo, as Gil volleys into the box. Agudelo can't really get to it.
13' GOAL DALLAS. Michael Barrios, going up against Delamea, slots home on the counter. Anibaba was behind the run. 1-0 to Dallas.
Take it yourself, Barrios! ⚡ https://t.co/JSmXisYVtq

The #Revs are already off to a good start…their captain for the day Michael Mancienne just limped off to the sideline during pregame warmups.
