Match Events

0' We are underway at BBVA Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
5' Lalas Abubakar has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 5 minutes.
10' It looks surprising Houston Dynamo does not make any changes. Collen Warner has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
15' Maynor Figueroa has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
20' Sam Junqua has been relatively quiet despite scoring 6 goals in his last 278 appearances.
24' Diego Rubio picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
29' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
34' Derrick Jones needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
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.
44' 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.
46' The crowd applauds Maynor Figueroa as he leaves the pitch. Ariel Lassiter steps in for Houston Dynamo.
51' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Fafa Picault makes no mistake. 1-1!
56' Diego Rubio, a Chile , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
60' GOAL! Michael Barrios fires home to make it 1-2!
63' A tactical swap from Colorado Rapids SC — Jonathan Lewis on, Michael Barrios off on 63 minutes.
64' A tactical swap from Houston Dynamo — Zarek Valentin on, Fafa Picault off on 64 minutes.
69' Colorado Rapids SC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Rafael Navarro scoring 2 goals.
72' Houston Dynamo ring the changes. Griffin Dorsey has done his job and it is now time for Memo Rodriguez to step up.
77' Houston Dynamo is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
80' Goal! Braian Galvan scores his 5 goal in 118 matches.
81' The Colorado Rapids SC bench stirs into life. Jack Price is withdrawn and Collen Warner gets his opportunity.
83' Mateo Bajamich has so much to prove this time. He replaces Sam Junqua on 83 minute.
84' Nicolas Mezquida is ready to make an impact after coming on for Andre Shinyashiki at the 84 minute mark.
89' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Colorado Rapids SC that had 275 games and scored 396 goals.
What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — Houston Dynamo 1-3 Colorado Rapids SC.
