Events

Match Events

  • 0' Temperatures are rising at Q2 Stadium as Austin FC face off against Houston Dynamo in what promises to be a fascinating contest.
  • 5' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Austin FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 7' What a strike from Cecilio Dominguez! The score is 1-0.
  • 11' Houston Dynamo receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 11.
  • 16' Houston Dynamo seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 21' Houston Dynamo are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 26' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Tomas Pochettino suffering a number of foals already.
  • 31' Houston Dynamo is showing some good football. However, Houston Dynamo are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 36' With 0 assists to his name this season, Marko Maric is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Houston Dynamo.
  • 38' Daniel Pereira has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 38.
  • 43' It looks surprising Austin FC does not make any changes. Griffin Dorsey has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 46' Fresh legs for Houston Dynamo! Ian Hoffmann comes on to replace Zarek Valentin.
  • 47' The referee has no hesitation. Sebastian Driussi is booked for Austin FC — Yellow card on 47.
  • 48' The referee calls foul for Sebastian Driussi. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 49' Sebastian Driussi does the damage! The net is bulging and Austin FC surge ahead!
  • 54' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Zan Kolmanic.
  • 59' Alexander Ring has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 40 cards already picked up this season.
  • 64' Houston Dynamo has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 2 meetings.
  • 66' Fresh legs for Houston Dynamo! Ariel Lassiter comes on to replace Fafa Picault.
  • 68' Austin FC make a change. Moussa Djitte trudges off to be replaced by Orrin McKinze Gaines on 68 minutes.
  • 73' Supporters expect more eagerness from Zarek Valentin, as he is very good at scoring at Q2 Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 74' Matias Vera catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 74.
  • 76' Tyler Pasher has so much to prove this time. He replaces Griffin Dorsey on 76 minute.
  • 81' The home supporters are growing impatient. Austin FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 83' The Austin FC bench stirs into life. Sebastian Driussi is withdrawn and Tomas Pochettino gets his opportunity.
  • 84' Austin FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Tomas Pochettino is hanging Sebastian Driussi on the field on 84 minute.
  • 89' Austin FC make a change. Alexander Ring trudges off to be replaced by Jon Gallagher on 89 minutes.
  • The final score is 2-1.
