Tuesday's US Open Cup final got off to a late start due to delays elsewhere on the television schedule, but FC Dallas and the New England Revolution didn't waste any time.
The two cup contenders traded early stunners to get Toyota Stadium's spirited crowd fired up right from the jump. The Revs' Juan Agudelo conjured up a gorgeous turn-and-finish to beat goalkeeper Chris Seitz and give the visitors a shock lead…
...only for Maxi Urruti to level matters with his own bit of inventiveness at the other end, latching on to a curling delivery from Mauro Diaz and lashing home a clean strike to set the home faithful alight.
It's hard to imagine a better start for a cup final.
