Events

Match Events

0' We are underway at Toyota Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ethan Bartlow made 278 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
10' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
15' Both keepers have barely been tested. FC Dallas and Houston Dynamo are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
20' FC Dallas has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
25' The energy levels are beginning to show. Eric Quill might look to freshen things up shortly.
30' 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 Amine Bassi suffering a number of foals already.
35' Luciano Acosta, a Argentina , has 44 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
40' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Eric Quill will be considering his options from the bench.
44' Brooklyn Raines has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 44.
46' A tactical swap from FC Dallas — Logan Farrington on, Petar Musa off on 46 minutes.
51' Houston Dynamo fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
56' It looks surprising Houston Dynamo does not make any changes. Ramiro has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
61' Artur has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
64' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Jack McGlynn makes it 0-1.
69' Felipe has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
71' Kaick makes way for Paxton Pomykal at the 71 minute mark. A tactical switch from FC Dallas.
76' The Houston Dynamo bench stirs into life. Ondrej Lingr is withdrawn and Toyosi Olusanya gets his opportunity.
81' Goal! Griffin Dorsey scores his 14 goal in 284 matches.
82' A tactical swap from FC Dallas — Tsiki Ntsabeleng on, Ramiro off on 82 minutes.
83' It is a substitution in FC Dallas team. Shaq Moore is replaced by Bernard Kamungo on 83 minute.
84' It’s a booking for FC Dallas player. Luciano Acosta gets a card.
88' Pedrinho was booked on 88.
89' Ethan Bartlow has so much to prove this time. He replaces Jack McGlynn on 89 minute.
90' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Lalas Abubakar on 90 minutes.
Game over. The scoreline of 0-2 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
