Events

Match Events

  • 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Houston Dynamo to score. At the same time, Austin FC does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' 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 Adam Lundqvist suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' Zan Kolmanic, a Slovenia , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 15' Houston Dynamo currently sit 27 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 19' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Leo Vaisanen on 19 minutes.
  • 24' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 29' Houston Dynamo is showing some good football. However, Houston Dynamo are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 34' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 39' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Houston Dynamo side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 44' Austin FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 44.
  • 49' Over 49 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 52' Austin FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 52.
  • 55' Austin FC ring the changes. Diego Fagundez has done his job and it is now time for Ethan Finlay to step up.
  • 59' Ivan Franco has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 59.
  • 64' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 65' A tactical swap from Austin FC — Adam Lundqvist on, Zan Kolmanic off on 65 minutes.
  • 70' Houston Dynamo is taking the lead after the goal scored by Amine Bassi on 70.
  • 70' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Adam Lundqvist.
  • 71' Amine Bassi does the damage! The net is bulging and Houston Dynamo surge ahead!
  • 76' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Daniel Steres made 282 appearances and scored 13 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 78' Carlos Ferreira gets the nod from Houston Dynamo. He replaces Ivan Franco and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 78' Adalberto Carrasquilla is having his name booked by the referee on 78.
  • 83' Both keepers have barely been tested. Houston Dynamo and Austin FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 84' It is a substitution in Austin FC team. Maximiliano Urruti is replaced by Gyasi Zardes on 84 minute.
  • 85' Griffin Dorsey gets the nod from Houston Dynamo. He replaces Amine Bassi and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 86' Against the run of play, Hector Herrera has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 89' Time for substitution for Houston Dynamo. Adalberto Carrasquilla is replaced by Luis Caicedo.
  • That’s it! Another goalless match for Houston Dynamo and Austin FC (для сухой ничьи).
