Events

Match Events

0' And we are off! FC Dallas vs Houston Dynamo — let the football do the talking.
5' Houston Dynamo receives a card for a hard tackle on 5.
10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Maarten Paes, as he is very good at scoring at Toyota Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
15' Latif Blessing is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Houston Dynamo so far.
16' The referee shows FC Dallas player a card on 16.
19' Fresh legs for Houston Dynamo! Daniel Steres comes on to replace Latif Blessing.
24' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with FC Dallas winning 100% of all matches.
29' USA international Sebastien Ibeagha has been a key figure this campaign — 1 goals and 1 assists in the Array this season.
34' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
39' 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 Ibrahim Aliyu suffering a number of foals already.
42' FC Dallas player sees a card in front of him.
46' The crowd applauds Marco Farfan as he leaves the pitch. Bernard Kamungo steps in for FC Dallas.
47' The crowd applauds Amine Bassi as he leaves the pitch. Brad Smith steps in for Houston Dynamo.
52' Over 52 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
55' Petar Musa has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 55 minutes.
60' The travelling Houston Dynamo supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
62' The referee shows Houston Dynamo player a card on 62.
66' Time for substitution for Houston Dynamo. Franco Escobar is replaced by Hector Herrera.
67' Jesus Ferreira has so much to prove this time. He replaces Patrickson Delgado on 67 minute.
72' It looks surprising Houston Dynamo does not make any changes. Sam Junqua has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
73' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Bernard Kamungo.
78' Both keepers have barely been tested. FC Dallas and Houston Dynamo are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
80' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Sebastien Ibeagha makes it 2-0.
82' The whistle greets Paul Arriola as he departs to be replaced by Tsiki Ntsabeleng.
84' A change in the Houston Dynamo ranks — Sebastian Kowalczyk exits the field as Orrin McKinze Gaines II enters on 84.
87' Orrin McKinze Gaines II was booked on 87.
90' That is a card for Houston Dynamo. Erik Sviatchenko will be fuming at that decision.
90' Carl Sainte gets the nod from FC Dallas. He replaces Illarramendi and will look to change the dynamic.
It finishes all square. FC Dallas and Houston Dynamo share the spoils 2-0.
