you'll try the other side
Juanito Ramirez

and we'll go out
for a restart in front
of the Dallas United side there you see
Kenny Cooper in the background
and you wonder with the strategies
philosophies of all the teams
some of those
long-standing Pros
to maybe give a five to ten minute shift

what makes this so compelling
we've already had

[Music]
with a Dallas College Richlands it's got
a cannon of a left foot you saw it on

crescendoing into the start of half
number two the inaugural TST here at the
WakeMed Soccer Complex
in Cary North Carolina two-nothing
Culture by Mo Ali FC
and the early run of it
you can see Dallas United they've grown
into the game
managed to put up a few shots toward the
end of the first half
just because we count up
20 more minutes
the game doesn't end on time
the target score
scenario will come into play
the goal to that current total
and that's the mark
so if
we're to stay two nothing
would need third a third Dallas United
would need to score three
all right
switching sides and away we go in the
second half
it's champus
inside the Canali
after a slip in the back by Renee Garcia
but he couldn't have the Third

but it wasn't the right teammates
quite the run through the middle and
Brian Rowe is to make his biggest stop
for Culture by Mo Ali
Nikki Hernandez
the potential
shown productive not only in this
tournament but
hoping to see
a new set of eyes perhaps a new Pro
opportunity with a performance here
[Applause]
with David Ortiz

Mo Ali
checked into the game again
gives it away in the middle Nikki

meaning the first Ambassador still for
FC Dallas and don't forget a player one
selection 15 years ago you were joking
about that yesterday
again that's on field three
first and second graders a lot of his
teammates would have been
back in that illustrious season for him
211 MLS games
looking to provide a spark Off the Bench
and Dallas United make a dent
they've been held goalless
will be held up the Elna he got poked in
the face
there's Rivera
defensive posture ever since they built
the lead
Dallas United come and get it
they've come close a couple of times
nine shots
four row saves
kept it clean so far
there's contact right at the top Nikki
Hernandez
money off and was favoring that ankle
coming into the tournament is hobbled a
bit
Dallas United hoping there was a little
more in that
two close calls inside the penalty area
it's a he-ball with a stiff arm
in front of our referee in the middle
don't get away with that
yeah
yellow card to the 29 year old Frenchman
you can accumulate up to three here in
the group stage
Far East United if
that is up to date then they would
appear to have that Target score of four
dialna
motoring like a fullback
to clear that away
slcfc that's sport League Canada these

it's Neil the giveaway
Ortiz
think of it
[Applause]
from Torres in Roe going high
needless to say there's been a lot do
something please been left to Fester but
the intensity from the physicality has
picked up on the Dallas United and the
urgency
also comes into play being
that there's six minutes plus left
hoping to shave the deficit
because that would mean they'd require
three goals if the score
stood the way it is
to volley that out of midair
and launching forward

what moves inside and there was the
chance
the final ticks of the 40.
Roman Torres
we'll want that one back
Canali
would have made it a situation
for Dallas United
would have needed two instead of three
that's the count
to which this group D opening matchup
will come to a conclusion
will it be a third goal by Culture by Mo
Ali FC can Dallas United rally for three
to win
they have shown a lot of grits
despite falling behind
in the 27th minute
and these young men from
much of the Metroplex
Dallas proper
have been resilient
Brian Rowe
has denied them five times
12 shots in 40 minutes
your target score time
leading team you go plus one
Ultra by Mo Wally FC
with two so you need three
we haven't had a goal since the third
minute
but not without opportunity the first to
the Target score wins
Dallas United needs a three goal rally

soccer Dave ball yet
streamlining it in front of Roman Torres
still just one shot attempted over the
last 20 minutes
from Culture by Mohali FC now a reminder
the time is kept on the field after five
minutes if there's no goal each team
pulls the player off
[Music]
and that continues until we get a goal

six field players
you won't see that time on your screen
that'll be kept on the field by the

now we're 6v6
this young group from Dallas United they
doubled up Culture by Mo Ali in shots
seven Brian Rose saves
back up and through
play designed as old as time and nearly
missed the mark
Roman Torres he's shown a lot today
Tulsa athletic team
got to play against the likes of
Sporting Kansas City in the open cup
a month and a half ago
who's frustrated Nikki Hernandez
making it uncomfortable
Fiona's gonna sub off
down to five field players aside trying
to
see you can come up
with that Target score
zahibo
good bit of sportsmanship with
the diminutive Juanito Ramirez
off the corner
theft by Renee Garcia
up for Torres there's Roe
a team of social media stars and
former pro Sensations but it's the
keeper
[Applause]
showing the way
well away from the action you could see
Hernandez got dragged down so they did
call a penalty
and an opportunity here
to have the deficit Nikki Hernandez
[Music]
[Applause]
gives Dallas united life
took 45 minutes plus
but the persistence pays off with a
penalty and from the spot Hernandez you
get no argument across the board he's
one of their most talented
put the team in blue within one they
need two more
[Music]
Culture by Mohali FC they scored twice
in a blink of an eye and then
essentially sat in for
the remainder of the game
they must have some ingenuity
to find the attack of the goal they need
to seal the deal
Juanito Ramirez got a hand up in the
face
the Dallas United free kick
they look to hungrier group at the
moment
and that penalty moments ago by
Hernandez
changed the complexion of this one
sibara slips it out of there
Ortiz
all the way up by midfields
and hit it over
address 21 Jesse Rivera
the target score is three
it's been since the third minute that
was Culture by Mo Ali's FC's last goal
now here at Target score time we are
peeling away players
Keepers into action even more roll
it's been in his old MLS form nine saves
couldn't stop the penalty though
[Applause]
that will belong to Dallas United
when the ball is out there are no
throw-ins to resume
you're 5v5 now
two players from each team have gone off
opening up the fields
a two on one perhaps
that you're by Mo Ali FC thought there
was a foul
Keanu star getting back Nikki Hernandez
repels off a Defender
role plays through the middle
here's Keanu stodd ends it for Culture
by Molly FC
starred Assad
[Music]
it took quite a while from goal two to
goal three
but Mo Ali FC finally gets it done
at times of feisty Affair and Dallas
United Hong tough made it interesting
here in Target score time
but to the top of Group D
away
Keanu stodd the 26 year old with two of
the three
for the team in Black
former Soccer Stars
social media Sensations
mostly SoCal base
he'll join Far East United at the top of
the group D standings
so in this
very first TST a little bit of a taste
of what targets score time
is all about
embracing it
the game winner
he had two goals 3-1 Culture by Mo Ali
