Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Houston Dynamo gets underway.
- 5' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 10' It looks like no one’s ball. Houston Dynamo is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 15' A quiet spell here at Shell Energy Stadium. Houston Dynamo seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 20' Colorado Rapids SC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 25' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 30' The energy levels are beginning to show. Ben Olsen might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 35' Andreas Maxso is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Colorado Rapids SC tonight.
- 40' Griffin Dorsey has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 2 goals to his name this season.
- 42' GOAL! Amine Bassi fires home to make it 1-0!
- 47' 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 Sebastian Kowalczyk suffering a number of foals already.
- 52' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Chris Armas will be considering his options from the bench.
- 57' Both keepers have barely been tested. Houston Dynamo and Colorado Rapids SC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 58' Djordje Mihailovic doubles the advantage! 1-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 63' The whistle greets Erik Sviatchenko as he departs to be replaced by Ethan Bartlow.
- 68' 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.
- 71' A moment of madness from Wayne Frederick on 71 minutes earns him a card. Colorado Rapids SC will be frustrated.
- 71' Colorado Rapids SC ring the changes. Darren Yapi has done his job and it is now time for Kevin Cabral to step up.
- 75' Ondrej Lingr has so much to prove this time. He replaces Sebastian Kowalczyk on 75 minute.
- 77' Rafael Navarro makes no mistake. The score reads 1-2 and Colorado Rapids SC are in front.
- 82' USA international Sam Vines has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.

- 85' The whistle greets Griffin Dorsey as he departs to be replaced by Ibrahim Aliyu.
- 90' Poor challenge from Ondrej Lingr. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
