Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Houston Dynamo kicks off things out of here…
- 5' The referee has no hesitation. Griffin Dorsey is booked for Houston Dynamo — card on 5.
- 10' Brazil international Micael has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 15' 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.
- 16' The referee has no hesitation. Petar Musa is booked for FC Dallas — card on 16.
- 19' The Houston Dynamo bench stirs into life. Latif Blessing is withdrawn and Daniel Steres gets his opportunity.
- 24' 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 Ema Twumasi suffering a number of foals already.
- 29' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Houston Dynamo that had 294 games and scored 407 goals.
- 34' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with FC Dallas winning 50% of all matches.
- 39' It looks like no one’s ball. Houston Dynamo is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 42' That looks like a foul for a card for Illarramendi.
- 46' The whistle greets Marco Farfan as he departs to be replaced by Bernard Kamungo.
- 47' It is a substitution in Houston Dynamo team. Amine Bassi is replaced by Brad Smith on 47 minute.
- 52' FC Dallas is showing some good football. However, FC Dallas are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 55' Petar Musa doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 60' The energy levels are beginning to show. Ben Olsen might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 62' Poor challenge from Micael. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
- 66' Hector Herrera gets the nod from Houston Dynamo. He replaces Franco Escobar and will look to change the dynamic.
- 67' A tactical swap from FC Dallas — Jesus Ferreira on, Patrickson Delgado off on 67 minutes.
- 72' Houston Dynamo fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 73' A meaty challenge results in booking for Bernard Kamungo on 73.
- 78' FC Dallas started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 78.
- 80' Sebastien Ibeagha adds to his 1 season tally! FC Dallas lead 2-0 — and this changes everything.
- 82' Tsiki Ntsabeleng gets the nod from FC Dallas. He replaces Paul Arriola and will look to change the dynamic.
- 84' Orrin McKinze Gaines II is ready to make an impact after coming on for Sebastian Kowalczyk at the 84 minute mark.
- 87' Orrin McKinze Gaines II picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 90' It’s gonna be a card for Erik Sviatchenko.
- 90' The FC Dallas manager makes a substitution. Illarramendi departs to be replaced by Carl Sainte.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-0.
