Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Houston Dynamo kicks off things out of here…
  • 3' Houston Dynamo is taking the lead after the goal scored by Mauro Manotas on 3.
  • 8' Columbus Crew SC is showing some good football. However, Columbus Crew SC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 13' Gaston Sauro has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 18' Houston Dynamo are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 23' The 31-year-old Matias Vera has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 1 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 28' The travelling Columbus Crew SC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 33' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 38' 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.
  • 43' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 48' It’s high time Wilmer Cabrera made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 51' Waylon Francis is having his name booked by the referee on 51.
  • 55' Tomas Martinez has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 55 minutes.
  • 56' The Columbus Crew SC manager makes a substitution. Justin Meram departs to be replaced by Pedro Santos.
  • 61' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Columbus Crew SC that had 303 games and scored 461 goals.
  • 66' Houston Dynamo have won 407 goals from 295 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 71' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ricardo Clark made 303 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 72' Fresh legs for Houston Dynamo! Thomas McNamara comes on to replace Memo Rodriguez.
  • 73' The whistle greets Eduardo Sosa as he departs to be replaced by Niko Hansen.
  • 77' The Houston Dynamo bench stirs into life. Boniek Garcia is withdrawn and Darwin Ceren gets his opportunity.
  • 81' The Columbus Crew SC bench stirs into life. Ricardo Clark is withdrawn and Luis Argudo gets his opportunity.
  • 86' Alberth Elis is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Columbus Crew SC so far.
  • 88' Juan Cabezas has so much to prove this time. He replaces Tomas Martinez on 88 minute.
  • The final score is 2-0.
