27′ – FC Tucson substitution: Smith out for Conor Spence.

21′ – Juarez awarded throw in near end line. Tucson player appealed for offside on the throw in. He knows there’s no offside on a throw in, right?

17′ – Drops from the sky. Rain would be a strong word.

16′ – Daniel Campos with a shot from beyond the top of the box. Easily collected by D’Arrigo.
