- 0' And we are off! Colorado Rapids SC vs Houston Dynamo — let the football do the talking.
- 4' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Memo Rodriguez makes it 0-1.
- 9' Houston Dynamo are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 14' 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 Cole Bassett suffering a number of foals already.
