Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Charlotte FC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' What a strike from Ibrahim Aliyu! The score is 1-0.
  • 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 15' It’s high time Dean Smith made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 20' Charlotte 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.
  • 25' Charlotte FC is showing some good football. However, Charlotte FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 27' A meaty challenge results in booking for Djibril Diani on 27.
  • 32' 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 Griffin Dorsey suffering a number of foals already.
  • 37' The travelling Charlotte FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 42' It looks surprising Houston Dynamo does not make any changes. Amine Bassi has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 46' Nikola Petkovic has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ben Bender on 46 minute.
  • 51' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 56' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Houston Dynamo needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 61' Charlotte FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 66' Supporters expect more eagerness from Liel Abada, as he is very good at scoring at Shell Energy Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 67' Another substitution for Charlotte FC to replace Patrick Agyemang by Iuri Tavares on 67 minute.
  • 68' Another substitution for Houston Dynamo to replace Latif Blessing by Sebastian Kowalczyk on 68 minute.
  • 69' It’s gonna be a card for Franco Escobar.
  • 74' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 79' Brad Smith has so much to prove this time. He replaces Sebastian Ferreira on 79 minute.
  • 80' Another change for Houston Dynamo made on 80 minute. Hector Herrera leaves to be changed by Brooklyn Raines.
  • 81' Time for substitution for Charlotte FC. Djibril Diani is replaced by Scott Arfield.
  • 86' Adilson Malanda has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 88' Another change for Charlotte FC made on 88 minute. Jere Uronen leaves to be changed by Tyger Smalls.
  • 89' Houston Dynamo manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Daniel Steres is hanging Griffin Dorsey on the field on 89 minute.
  • The final score is 1-0.
