Events

Match Events

0' The game is set. Houston Dynamo kicks off things out of here…
5' Andrew Gutman has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 15 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
10' Calvin Harris has been relatively quiet despite scoring 13 goals in his last 245 appearances.
15' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
20' 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 William Yarbrough suffering a number of foals already.
25' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Houston Dynamo needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
30' It’s gonna be a card for Ibrahim Aliyu.
35' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Houston Dynamo that had 275 games and scored 385 goals.
40' Houston Dynamo are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
45' The referee calls foul for Nelson Quinones. He receives a card.
46' A tactical swap from Houston Dynamo — Thor Ulfarsson on, Ibrahim Aliyu off on 46 minutes.
51' Colorado Rapids SC are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against Houston Dynamo's 4-3-3 shape.
56' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
61' Houston Dynamo are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
66' The energy levels are beginning to show. might look to freshen things up shortly.
67' Another substitution for Colorado Rapids SC to replace Braian Galvan by Jonathan Lewis on 67 minute.
72' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
75' Fresh legs for Colorado Rapids SC! Danny Wilson comes on to replace Lalas Abubakar.
80' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
85' Danny Wilson is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Houston Dynamo so far.
87' The whistle greets Bryan Acosta as he departs to be replaced by Danny Leyva.
celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
