MLS Cup Finals, FC Dallas Vs. Colorado: Now We Know Where To Find Omar Cummings, On The Bench

Read More: Macoumba Kandji (F - HOU), Omar Cummings (F - Colorado Rapids), Eric Avila (MIDFIELDER - Toronto FC), FC Dallas

ESPN Rob Stone reported that Omar Cummings was suffering with a right thigh problem. Well, that explains it. There had to be some reason that one of Major League Soccer's best weapons went missing for the season's biggest match.

Aside from one powerful shot in the first half, Cummings has been gone, and as Dallas controlled the last 30 minutes of regular time, the absence of their best player become more acute. Missing person reports, milk cartons  - all the jokes went around Twitter. With Macoumba Kandji now in for Cummings, we'll know exactly where to find the Jamaican star.

Now at the half-way mark of extra time, Colorado and Dallas remain tied 1-1, but for those of us expecting something from Omar Cummings, the strikers' substitution only raised questions. With Conor Casey having a strong match and Dallas's defense being tested by Jackson's early injury, what would an in-form Cummings had done to this match?

Kandji was Gary Smith's last substitution. Moments before extra time's break, Shellas Hyndman's last substitution came in: Eric Avila for Martin Chavez.

We're 15 minutes from penalty kicks. Again.
