Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at !
  • 5' It looks surprising Houston Dynamo does not make any changes. Hector Villalba has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' The home supporters are growing impatient. Houston Dynamo must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 15' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 20' Miguel Almiron is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Houston Dynamo so far.
  • 25' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 30' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 35' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Gerardo Martino will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 40' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 45' Mauro Manotas, a Colombia , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 50' With 0 assists to his name this season, Alberth Elis is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Atlanta United FC.
  • 55' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Houston Dynamo and Atlanta United FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 60' Atlanta United FC 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.
  • 65' Houston Dynamo have won 394 goals from 283 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 70' Atlanta United FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 75' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 80' Atlanta United FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 80.
  • 85' 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 Brandon Vazquez suffering a number of foals already.
  • 90' Over 90 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Houston Dynamo players.
