Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Colorado Rapids SC gets underway.
- 5' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 10' Artur needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 31 Yellow cards this season.
- 15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 20' 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.
- 25' Houston Dynamo started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 25.
- 30' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Colorado Rapids SC that had 272 games and scored 394 goals.
- 31' The referee calls foul for Felipe. He receives a card.
- 36' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 36 minutes.
- 41' Supporters expect more eagerness from Mateusz Bogusz, as he is very good at scoring at PNC Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 43' That looks like a foul for a card for Hamzat Ojediran.
- 47' Colorado Rapids SC receives a card for a hard tackle on 47.
- 52' Kosi Thompson has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 14 appearances with only 2 goals this season.
- 56' Mateusz Bogusz is having his name booked by the referee on 56.
- 61' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Colorado Rapids SC winning 50% of all matches.
- 63' The referee calls foul for Lawrence Ennali. He receives a card.
- 66' Colorado Rapids SC receives a card for a hard tackle on 66.
- 71' It’s high time Matt Wells made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 72' Lawrence Ennali puts Houston Dynamo on the lead.
- 77' It looks surprising Colorado Rapids SC does not make any changes. Alexis Castillo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 82' It looks like no one’s ball. Colorado Rapids SC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 87' Colorado Rapids SC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Rafael Navarro scoring 2 goals.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-0.
