Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at !
  • 5' Alberth Elis needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 10' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 15' 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 Adam Lundqvist suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' Mauro Manotas doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 20' Jesse Gonzalez catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 20.
  • 25' The 40-year-old Reto Ziegler has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 27' Poor challenge from Boniek Garcia. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 32' FC Dallas fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 37' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 42' FC Dallas is showing some good football. However, FC Dallas are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 45' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Michael Barrios.
  • 50' Michael Barrios has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 55' With 0 assists to his name this season, Ryan Hollingshead is clearly more than just a goal scorer for FC Dallas.
  • 58' What a strike from Mauro Manotas! The score is 2-0.
  • 63' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 64' Fresh legs for FC Dallas! Dominique Badji comes on to replace Jesus Ferreira.
  • 69' Both keepers have barely been tested. Houston Dynamo and FC Dallas are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 73' Time for substitution for Houston Dynamo. Mauro Manotas is replaced by Thomas McNamara.
  • 77' A meaty challenge results in booking for Reggie Cannon on 77.
  • 80' A tactical swap from FC Dallas — John Nelson on, Ryan Hollingshead off on 80 minutes.
  • 81' FC Dallas player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 82' Time for substitution for Houston Dynamo. Boniek Garcia is replaced by Juan Cabezas.
  • 85' Another substitution for Houston Dynamo to replace Memo Rodriguez by Romell Quioto on 85 minute.
  • 87' GOAL! Dominique Badji scores on 87. Assisted by Michael Barrios
  • 88' Controversy at the stadium! Thomas McNamara argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 90' The referee has no hesitation. Juan Cabezas is booked for Houston Dynamo — Yellow card on 90.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-1.
